Wtf is wrong with my school?
What is going on with my school? I’m currently in English class, and we’re required to use an AI generator to create a story. The problem is, the generator is completely nonsensical! Why are they trying to replace our creativity with artificial intelligence? I’d much rather write my own story because it’s far more enjoyable […]

It sounds frustrating to feel sleepy regardless of how much sleep you get! Here are a few tips that might help you stay awake and alert during the school day:
Stay Hydrated: Dehydration can lead to fatigue. Make sure you’re drinking enough water throughout the day.
Healthy Snacks: Opt for nutritious snacks like fruits, nuts, or yogurt. These can provide you with a steady source of energy.
Regular Sleep Schedule: Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. This helps regulate your body’s internal clock.
Short Naps: If you have the opportunity, short naps (10-20 minutes) can give you a quick energy boost without making you feel groggy.
Move Around: Stand up, stretch, or take a quick walk if you’re feeling drowsy. Physical activity can increase blood flow and wake you up.
Limit Sugar and Caffeine: While it may be tempting to have sugary snacks or caffeinated drinks, they can lead to crashes later on.
Light Exposure: Spend some time outside or in well-lit areas; natural light can help enhance alertness.
Engage in Class: Participation can help keep your mind active. Ask questions or take notes to stay focused.
If you continue to feel overly tired despite making these changes, it might be worth talking to a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying issues. Good luck!
