Having trouble staying awake when you need to get work done? Feel like taking a nap and passing out. Don't worry, we've all been there. To keep up with our increasingly fast-paced society, most teenagers should be getting around 8 to 10 hours of sleep, while adults should be getting around 7 to 9 hours of sleep. However, most people aren't sleeping nearly enough. Excuse me, how many hours of sleep did you get last night? I took a 20-minute nap last night. But there are so many better ways to stay up and drowning yourself in caffeine. Exercise. Not only does exercise improve quality of sleep, but studies show that exercising is also more effective in energizing the body than some sleep medications. Rather than eating shitty snacks that can lead to a sugar crash, stockable snacks, high-end protein. Even better than eating snacks and protein bars, moving around and making conversation with other people also helps your mind stay active and focused. Avoid staying in one place or sitting in one position for too long in order to keep the blood pumping. Just can't resist the lure of sleeping. Taking a 5-minute nap can help prevent fatigue and cancel our fitness and retain memories. You also feel refreshed after waking up. Just make sure you set alarms so you don't over sleep. Finally, staying hydrated is extremely important because dehydration can lead to fatigue, confusion, and fainting. Made of 60% water, our bodies use H2O to transfer nutrients to all parts of our body. It is important to remember these methods aren't cure for not getting enough sleep. The best way to not feel tired during the day is to get the proper amount of sleep at night. What are some ways you guys stay awake when you're feeling tired and want to pass out?
