As average high school students, our top enemy every night is sleep. Some may say homework but there is no doubt that the lack of sleep has some heavy lasting affects on us during the day. Students often cannot get out of the cycle of having to sleep late a night once started and find themselves sleeping late every night. These habits cause the student's grade to suffer as he/she slowly falls asleep in class. However, this problem can easily be solved with at least one of the following methods.
Drink lots of coffee in the morning. Coffee is known for keeping people up throughout a whole day. Adults basically run on coffee so why can students not be the same. Students can have any amount of sleep the night before and have no troubles falling asleep in school with a whole pot of coffee. Of course some students may not like the taste so the alternative is consuming candy in the morning. Candy contains sugar that works just as well so the higher consumption means a higher chance of being awake longer.
Turn to a high calorie consumption diet. Our bodies shut down because of excessive use of energy from previous work. Eating more will provide more energy for the working body. In theory, the body will never need to rest if enough energy is being consumed to replace the energy burning off.
Constant intensive exercise is another way to solve these problems. The body shuts down at any chance the body is able to rest. If the body is never able to rest, the body will never need to go to sleep. Exercise keeps the body alive and active. A thirty minute run in the morning with a jog and a few push ups in between periods must be enough to keep the body active the whole day. If one feels sleep coming in class, simply standing up will put the body in work and divert concentration.
If all else fails, not doing one's homework is the best possible way to restore the hours lost from a lack of sleep. Students will have no problem with rest if homework was not issued. Students will be wide awake in class and no one would be sleeping. Surely the health of the students is more important than a grade.
Even though some people actually use these methods to stay awake, these methods should not be considered by a high school student. Time management is the best possible way to solve sleep problems. With a good schedule, sleep should not even be an issue. This may be hard for most but a small nap after coming home from school can greatly help. The elimination of procrastination is the true solution to sleeping problems.
