Any ways of keeping myself awake for a long period of time so I can get through studying/reviewing/doing work?

Asked by gorgeousgal3 (393points) January 25th, 2011

Sometimes I have no other option but to stay up late to do my work. Sometimes I don’t get home til later or am just so tired when I get home. But I need to be able to get myself through my workload and keep myself awake so I can focus and absorb the material or information I need to know. This is a constant challenge for me. So are there any ways I can invigorate myself so I can get done all the work and study to the point where I feel like I really know something and can remember it even if I’m functioning on less sleep the next day? Also just to put it out there I would really like to have to avoid pulling an all nighter because I don’t know how I could function on less than 5hrs of sleep because Then I’d be worried I would just fall asleep. Thank you.

Put your notes on a tape or voice recorder/MP3 device and play them as you commute and get around. I wish I had half the technology you kids have for studying….almost like cheating in my book!!

Truth be told studying while tired to the bone does little good…get some sleep and hit the important stuff hard as you can with a fresh rested brain.

If in a meeting, ask a question every 5 min. Make sure they are good questions or questions that maybe someone else might have, but did not know to ask.

You should also take deep breaths every few minutes. Works for me.

I’m just talking about being able to get through studying for 2 to 4 classes ata time without feeling like I’m going to have a nervous breakdown.So probably studying for an hour to hour and a half for some of my easier courses and getting through like 2 or 2 and a half hours for the more challenging courses.Also does any one know of some ways I can use menomic devices or form a picture in my head so I can connect it to the information? i HEARD THAT THAT WORKS ALONG WITH REPETITION. bUT HOW WOULD i FORM THE PICTURES SO THAT i COULD ASSOCIATE IT WITH THE CONTENT?
