How do I become more alert and less tired/drowsy?
I am always tired and drowsy. When I go to school, I usually nod off in a few of my classes. It's really embarrassing because I've tried many things to stay awake! The tiredness isn't good because sometimes I miss a few crucial parts of the notes I'm taking in class.
I think I'm getting enough rest every night. I usually sleep about 7 hours, maybe a little more. I don't do anything that requires a whole lot of energy early in the day so I can't understand why I'm always so tired!
I'm even tired on the weekends when school is out. I can sleep at any time of the day. I don't want to be tired anymore. It seems like I'm always trying to make room in my day for a nap to relieve the drowsiness, but it never works and I'm always tired again when I wake up.
What can I do?

7 hours is plenty of sleep. Most people don't even get that much. You may actually have an iron deficiency. That will make you tired a lot among other things such as being chilly regularly. It would be a good idea to get your blood checked by your doctor and let them know how you have been feeling. If you do have the deficiency it is easy to take care of because you could take iron pills or a multivitamin daily. If you do not have that issue, you can try working out more regularly. Most people that start working out say that it gives them a lot more energy during the day and fewer headaches. The cardio will get your blood pumping and make you more alert. Also, if you are going through a difficult transition in your life such as a break up, heavy work load etc. you could be emotionally drained which is causing your body to become more worn out. Some forms of depression also cause fatigue. As you can see by my list, there are quite a few factors that could influence your energy levels. Check those out and you may find the answer…Good luck.

k well first of all teens need around 8-9 hours of sleep so try to get those hours of sleep nextt in the morning dont just have cereal have some fruits on the side or even better eggs because eggs keep your brain on and help you concentrate also drinking hot chocolate might help and or coffee and i know coffee is bad but it helps and it really isnt that bad it keeps you going through the entire day without if yawning good luck :)
