Sleep plays a major factor in growth and development of a Student. It also affects peoples’ behavior, temperament and learning ability. Studies show that sleep deprivation may cause IQ levels to temporarily decline. True enough, when one is drowsy, one tends to be weak in reasoning and memory. So if you have experienced problems like these, it’s time act now. Here are some suggestions to avoid sleeping at class:

• Eat a healthy breakfast containing key nutrients like protein and energy-boosting carbohydrates. Examples are eggs and fruits.
• If you feel like you need to take vitamin supplements, then do. But consult your doctor first to know what’s right for you.
• Get at least eight hours of shut-eye. Avoid partying when you have a class the next day. Or at least leave early so that you have enough time to rest for tomorrow.
• Avoid watching too much television, especially late night programs. Discipline yourself.
• Drinking milk or reading a book before bedtime may help you to sleep early. Before you go to sleep, avoid drinks containing caffeine, such as coffee and tea.
• Free yourself from emotional baggage especially before sleeping. Rest your mind even for a while. Thinking or worrying too much about your problems might make you restless.
• Don’t rely on drinking coffee alone to keep you awake. Coffee may give you a quick energy boost, but its effects may also decline in just a few hours. The end result is you’ll feel sleepy again.
• Make sure your bedroom is comfortable and relaxing. Check if your pillows and bedding are comfortable enough. Also, a quiet, cool and dark room is perfect for sleeping.
