Making Yourself Stay Awake
I know I'm not the only one who struggles to stay awake during boring class lectures or doing busywork at my job.
When I'm dozing off in class I usually start cracking my ankles by rotating them or dig my fingernails into my hands. Weird? Yes. Does it work? Usually. Or I try to get my mind off of whatever is boring me at that time and think of upcoming weekend plans. One time I was sitting next to this guy during a boring class lecture and we were both doing the embarassing head nod from dozing off. Afterwards, he told me he was digging the keys in his pocket into his thigh in an effort to stay awake. Haha.
So how do you all stay awake when you're absolutely bored out of your minds?
