Tips to avoid yawning and sleeping in a classroom

I know this is the major problem of many students. Guess what? I too have the problem of sleeping in a classroom!!!!

Falling asleep during the day can be a completely relaxing experience and reenergize you for a night out on the town. However slumbering during an important meeting or class can lead to amounts of yelling, detention, or even the loss of your job. Reckless slumbering also often leads to missing out on the enitre day, as comfortable as it may seem.

STEPS:-

1.)Eat:- An empty stomach is a major cause of sleepiness in humans. The food affects the hypothalamus (a gland in your body) and regulates its production of sleep-causing hormones.

2.)Get a good night's sleep:- This is the most important step. A good 8 hours is recommended. Do not procrastinate work: get it done early so you can go to bed by 10 o'clock.

3.)Chew gum or always have something in your mouth:- This helps keep the brain active. If you feel yourself about to yawn, swallow.

4.)Do not let your thoughts stray when you are tired:- The moment your thoughts begin to stray, you will be falling asleep in no time.

TIPS:-

• The Listerine Pocket Packs are a great food item to keep you awake! They burn your mouth. Also, keep a little bottle of mouthwash in your purse, backpack, or work desk. This also keeps the breath fresh.
• Do not slouch in your chair.
• Remember to blink your eyes if you stare at a computer screen. Monitors continuously redisplay their contents and the brain cannot pick up on these changes, but your eye can and it makes the eye extremely tired. (If you look at your monitor with your peripheral vision and can notice that it blinks, your refresh rate is probably set too low.)
