Night after night!

The end-semester exams are on full-swing and everyone's at their wit's end!
The days seem short and no amount of time is enough. Portions are gigantic, even with the AIOs to the rescue. Sleep is the last thing on your mind but sadly you “just fall asleep”, waking up to find its “just too late” and somehow unfair. If you want to successfully do that ‘night-out’ and you just can’t, then this article is what you should be reading.
Follow these tried and tested tips unless you have deviating sentimental commitments regarding them!

- Universally known sleep-buster –coffee. Let coffee be your water!
- Don’t lie down and read, unless you are good at it.
- Shift your place of study. Furniture to floor to bed(sitting position).
- Be scared. You are doing this night out cause you are scared about messing up the next day, right? Then just keep that fear going.
- If and when you feel that sleep-monster pressing down your lids, react in an instant. Stand immediately. Walk. Laugh. Pinch. Whatever. None’s watching you, buddy.
-Keep your feet dipped in a bucket of cold water!
- Dread sleeping.
- Write and learn.
- Do portions which include problems (numerical solving). Nothing is as sleep-inducing as boring, long theory answers.
- Study portions you are fond of.
- Don’t ever, ever give up sleep totally. You don’t want to sleep in the exam hall! So sleep a min. of 3 hours.
- Derive inspiration from you other slogging mates. You are not doing it alone. Together, ‘we shall overcome’.
But most importantly, you should want to study. Who knows you could be so much in flow with it that you simply forget about sleeping! If you find yourself spending more time trying to stay awake rather than learning, then just go sleep! This isn’t your cup of tea.
Happy studying!
All the best.
