advice

i'm currently a freshman in my second semester of college and i have a problem staying awake in my classes, even if i get adequate hours of sleep the night before!

i've tried drinking coffee during class (despite the caffeine, has not worked for me), bringing munchies, having a water bottle, doodling on my notebook, and vice versa. basically anything to keep me busy and awake! all of my attempts have failed...any ideas?

what do you wear to class?

if it's cold in the building and you're in sweats you're going to fall asleep because you're comfortable. I found this out the hard way during the ACT (first time, I still beat the national average by 8). Being cold will make you more alert (for me anyway).

also, nap between classes. I've heard from friends in college that it works well to calm the cravings to sleep during class unless your class goes late and you're still in there during nap time.

nvm, napping is a bad idea.
