I sleep at night. Wierd, huh?

[leaderofrouge]

I like what I'm studying so I don't really fall asleep <.< ........ >.> .......... ^^;;

Oh man, the answer to this question in my case is none. I've tried everything possible to stay awake in class but my head still goes down for the count. From chewing strong mint candy, stabbing my self with my pencil (even cutting myself with a cutter then dousing it with alcohol),tap my toes, breathing heavily and steadily and drinking lots of coffee and energy drink to no avail. Surprisingly, my brain takes in all the information while I'm in a semi sleeping/awake state. To get the professors of my back, I always answer any question they throw in class.

Find a substance that irritates the skin, don't scratch. Have fun with that.

I just pay attention, and my medication helps me stay awake (i take 2 36Milligram concerta pills (concerta is a time released Ritalin, and both concerta and Ritalin are anphedamines)

Preeetty sure you meant Amphetamine <.< ........ >.> ........... ^^;;Well but I mean, if you guys are doing something that interests you then most of the time there shouldn't be any issues to stay awake, right =O?

I pinch myself repeatedly (on my left arm) and continue till my whole arm's burning. Then I continue with my right arm.It actually works fairly well. XDIf you don't like doing yourself physical damage (I'm not saying I do, though, haha!), then think of something like how disgustingly sweaty you feel and how much you have to take a bath. You'll feel too disgusted to sleep, then.Or try to remember a random song and its lyrics (I know it sounds stupid, but it actually works surprisingly well!)Try to feel self-conscious. Pretend that the teacher's staring at you or something. Or maybe your girlfriend is. Holding a knife. She'll stab you if she sees you take as much as a wink of sleep.

Mmm... I haven't taken any kinds of medications back then (mostly pain killers).

This is my most favorite method of keeping awake... though mostly do fantasies of my female classmates, I still fall asleep without fail.

That depends on how early the class is. If it is earlier than 9:00AM, then I am not gonna be too good at staying awake. So I try coffee, but that doesn't really help all that much. Most of the time I go to bed early enough and get enough sleep, but I still am not much of a morning person. The last thing is that the class has to be interesting. If it isn't, then why am I even there? I had a class like that where my attention wandered like crazy. That class was called Accounting, and I never did too well on it.

But isn't it fantasising about female classmates something that you do when you are asleep..... <.<;;

I don't. Lol

Well to be honest. Falling asleep in class was never really an issue for me. I would just zone out a lot of the time, and either talk a lot or draw/doodle on my paper during a lecture. But, there were a few times i fell asleep in History. During my High School year in U.S. History. My teacher would often show us some boring war movie. That's when i fell asleep a few times. I never even realized it, until i heard him yell at me. lol

Find something to occupy my time. I got a rep for falling asleep in class when I was in high school, so it was nearly an everyday thing.

[hi346353]

I just do something boring, and it helps my mind turned off but my body awake.

[Mysterie]

I draw or read in class. It drives my teachers nuts when they think they can embarrass me and call on me to answer a question, thinking I wasn't paying attention, and I turn around and prove I WAS listening.
