Keeping me awake
I like sleep, no doubt about that, but sometimes i sleep when i don't want to. I'm a senior now and exams are approaching but i can't study because I'm so over-whelmed by school during the day that the lastest i can go is about 10:00pm. It sucks because i barely get time to study since my homework finishes about 8 and i want a little break.
I want to stay awake, but in a healthy-ish way. I know i can drink coffee, but i don't want to over consume caffein...so anything else? Any good healthy ways?

Ahhhh, everyone loves sleep. If only there was a way to let high school kids get more of it. Trust me, I have about four hours of homework to do a night, and when my body is done for the day, it just shuts down. I can be on the phone, sitting up and fall asleep. So listen to your body. There is no healthy way to force your body to stay awake. Especially after a few days, you'll start to feel the effects. So I will tell you my little secret of what I do to get it all done. Do all that you can until you fall asleep. Make sure to have your alarm set for about an hour/hour and a half earlier than you usually wake up. That way, you will be rested, you are not forcing your body to stay awake at night, you will have a fresh mind, and you won't be cramming all this information about 4 different subjects into your head at night. And I know, more than likely, you don't like getting up in the wee hours of the morning, neither do I. But it helps a lot for me. Hopefully it will make a difference for you too.

eating suger isn't exactly healthy, but it works. you could also drink a vanilla chai tea that you can get at a dunkin donuts and its sweet and will keep you up for a little while. like my friend would drink it and she wouldn't be able to go to sleep. she was up until 4 in the morning after drinking it at ten, though that may not happen for everyone. hope i helped
