I really need to stay awake, I have this bad habit of going to sleep after school for like 2-3 hours, waking up, eating, doing homework and finishing late, around like 1 or 2 am. Then I wake up all tired again and during school, I get really tired and fall asleep. I know its rude to teachers for students to fall asleep but I can't help it. Sometimes I stand up during class but that gets too much attention and looks stupid, although sometimes I'll stand up and act like I'm getting something, like a tissue. And tonight, I think I'll be up for a while

Weird that you wake up tired. Normal to go to sleep during school if you go to sleep that late. I always when to sleep during 7th period. However, sleeping after coming school is pretty weird, that is being too lazy or maybe it a disease or something? Wash your face after you get home from school, gets you awake, and don't go to bed, go to eat instead.

I hear exercise helps you stay awake. But I just drink an unhealthy amount of energy drinks.

dont take a nap after school
try to make it through the rest of the day and go to bed around 9 or 10
then youll get a good nights sleep
wake up early, and you shouldnt be tired during school
sounds like its just a matter of getting your schedule back into shape

i would suggest taking a shorter nap (20-30min) until you get your sleep schedule back together. as with your free time, im sure you cant possibly be doing your homework ALL the time. try planning your day out and such.
Everything counts.

naps right after school raped me during my senior year :\

try to stay awake until it's normal bedtime and you'll reduce sleepiness :s

you don't need coffee or energy drinks -_-;

There's a reason your schedule got out of whack: Staying up late playing StarCraft. You can use the same game to stay awake. Just make sure you're actually playing it.

Actually when I have trouble going to sleep at night, this is something I do to help. Others mentioned doing this too in another thread :d

i used to do this a lot too, after a hard day at school and practice i would just crash for a couple hours. i fixed this by waking myself up with a couple rounds of iccup as sc makes me either very frustrated or proud enough to avoid sleep.

Lol it does and then it gets me really tired when I'm done, haha but thats when I used to do it every time before I went to sleep.

Has anyone tried those 5 hour energy drink things? its a small bottle and you it only has like a little sip and suppose to keep you awake without crashing after the effect

i always slept during my first period my senior year. i didn't really care though what my teacher thought because he was an idiot anyway and couldn't teach worth shit, he was more interested in talking to the students. so if you have a teacher like that, by all means sleep through their class.

Those give me headaches. They might 'crash' a little less soley because they have no calories, but that's only one part of the feeling. Any major source of caffeine, like those drinks are, will lead to crash. And the excessive B vitamins might contribute too (blocking enzyme pathways, maybe... heard this from professor but I'm not really sold in it :o).

There are more extreme energy drinks out there. Here are two that if you try for the first time will DEFINITELY keep you awake: redline and endorush. I still remembering using endorush to try and keep me alert after having 2 hours of sleep, but I didn't realize it was 4 servings per bottle... it kept me alert, and then made me too alert and I missed out on a good night's sleep again T_T, but when I woke up in the morning it seemed to carry over. After the first time it ceased to have such a major effect, though (I also never tried having so many doses again).

Ugh I used to have the same problem as the OP. Sleep after school, I had to wake up at 3 or 4AM to finish my homework and then I'd be assed out at school

Bawls is 2 bucks a drink, which sucks. I love the taste though. BTW NEVER EVER EVER TRY SUGAR-FREE BAWLS IT IS LIKE GARBAGE WATER ;_;

edit: You can try exercising or going out for a run, it could pump you up and keep you from falling asleep.
