Good technique for staying awake and falling asleep. I am in the state of falling asleep after almost no sleep last night, but I can’t fall asleep during the day (messes uup my schedule)

Adderall and alcohol?
Wait, no. Bad decision. Don’t listen to me.
eat a light snack and exercise. This will boost your matabolism.
A short nap probably won’t hurt you.
Keep all the shades open…lots of light helps, stay active, drink caffeine?
I found out videogames do the job quite nicely.
Fluther on! It keeps me up when I should be sleeping.
I find that differentiating space helps a lot. For example, I try to use my bed only for sleep, and not sleep anyplace else (like the couch) if I can help it.
That way, when I’m in my bed, my body and my subconscous mind feel like “it’s sleepy time”.
I also try to wake up and fall asleep at the same time everyday (another subconscious cue). At around 11:30, my body starts getting tired.
exercise, a diet rich in protein, vitamin b12 and good humor. keeps you awake, puts you to sleep and extends your life.
