How to Stay Awake During Classes?

What is class? Class is a period of time in which students are taught something. When students are being taught, they must concentrate to fully understand the subject, or at least get the point, as we can revise and ask the lecturer later. All of us that still study for sure have faced this problem that is ‘to stay awake in class ’. If we don’t pay attention in class, we won’t understand the subject, can’t do the exercises given and may also fail in exam. Therefore, as now you already know the important to stay awake in class, how to do it? Well, there are several things that you can do before, during and after the class.

First of all, before class start, make sure you are readily prepared. Do read first and go through the chapter that will be taught. It will make you easily understand the topic as you already have the idea. Next, to make sure that you wouldn’t spend more time at toilet than class, don’t eat too much before class especially oily food and fast food. Drink essence of chicken or red bull to make you stay alert throughout the class. Furthermore, to make you stay awake during class, do take a quick nap before class. You can also walk to the class rather than driving or do a simple exercise like stretching. Hence, you wouldn’t fall asleep during class.

In addition, during the class, sit in front to have clearer vision and to pay more attention. When you sit in front, you will have eye contact with the lecturer. Therefore you won’t dare to sleep or play. Also, don’t ignore what the lecturer talks. Do hear and take notes. You will get additional information and will make you concentrate in the class. Then, you can also eat some snacks like sweets, gums and biscuits because it will provide us energy and make our mouth busy (rather than sleep). Don’t forget to take short breaks and get some fresh air before continue with the class. It will less your tension.

Besides that, lives a healthy life after class. You can play healthy outdoor games like basketball, football, netball, and jogging. It can make your body feels refresh and fit, as long as you don’t over play. Moreover, do sleep early. Try to get 6-8 hours of sleep time. You can play games and chatting but have your limit. Don’t play or chat until late night. Your brain and body must have enough rest to continue the study next day. Other than that, do revise again what you have learned. Read the notes again and do some exercises. You will have better understanding for the subject and won’t get lots of trouble when the exam comes.

Finally, class is an important time to study. It’s the time to get new knowledge that is priceless. Therefore, please go to class and concentrate along the class. Steps above are some of the ways that you can practice to stay awake in class and thus may make you score in the examination.
