omgosh dude, this is a hard one, i can hardly stay awake myself. i usually just try really hard to listen to what the teacher says, and taking notes down on paper forces me to stay awake, but its still hard to. :?
Well what l used to do in high school was mentally undress the hawt chicks lawl. But now that l'm in college, there aren't any hawt chicks any more... :( so l guess coffee FTW.
When I was still attending highschool, I knew that all that was needed was a good night's sleep. But did I do it? No...it was too tempting to stay up most of the nights and take little naps in school the next day. Am I sorry? No...if your parents don't bug you, getting 4 hours of sleep every night and then recharging on the weekends can get you through your whole hs career.
Sleep at night. That helps. I don't mean 4 or 5 hours. Get a full night's sleep every night. Preferably 8 hours, but 7 is fine. And no matter how much you want to, do NOT put your head down. Even for 1 second. Try active listening. Ask questions, take notes, think about what you're hearing.
I just tell myself, "I paid over $300 for this class" and it works!cametall
That works only if you truly paid for it... otherwise that fact kind of distances itself away from you if you have scholarships and whatnot.
Honestly, there are pretty much only a few things you can do... firstly, try to get a ton of sleep. If that's not possible for whatever reason, caffeine, especially coffee are your best friends. Just don't fall into a caffeine addiction... it'll make your problem that much worse...
And of course there's always the mental activity of poking fun at professors. It won't keep you focused on their lecture, but it'll keep you awake depending on what nuances you notice. :P
Well, always make sure you get a lot of sleep the night before. Be smart, if you have to get up at 5:30-6:00, then don't go to bed at 10:00. Go at 8:00. So you miss your favorite TV show...who cares?
And listen to the teacher and actually do the work. Don't sit there, saying to yourself "ooh, this is boring...I wish I was home". That'll do you no good and can lead to you doing something like putting your head down and eventually sleeping.
