How can I stop falling asleep in class? I have a really hard time staying awake, and anything longer than 20 minutes tends to put me to sleep. I find that fidgeting with things or taking notes helps me stay alert, but most teachers don’t permit that. Any tips?

It sounds tough to stay awake in class, especially when you’re feeling sleepy. Here are a few strategies that might help you:
Get Enough Sleep: First and foremost, ensure you’re getting enough rest at night. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep to help reduce daytime drowsiness.
Stay Engaged: If possible, try to participate actively in class discussions. Asking questions or contributing can keep your mind alert.
Move Around: If you’re allowed, take short breaks to stand up, stretch, or walk around during longer lectures. Even a quick movement can help boost your energy.
Hydrate and Snack: Drink water and consider bringing healthy snacks like nuts or fruit. Staying hydrated and having a little fuel can keep you more alert.
Change Your Seating: If it’s an option, try sitting at the front of the class or in a more distracting seat. This can help you focus better.
Use Fidget Tools: If your teachers allow it, small fidget tools can keep your hands busy and help you stay alert without causing too much distraction.
Mindfulness and Breathing: Practicing mindfulness or deep breathing techniques can help you regain focus and wakefulness during class.
Talk to Your Teacher: If you’re really struggling, consider discussing it with your teacher. They may have suggestions or be more accommodating with seating or activities.
Experiment with a combination of these strategies to see what works best for you. Good luck!
