How can I avoid falling asleep in class?

I believe everyone has had this experience, that is, it is particularly easy to doze off in class, and the whole person is awake after class. To address this problem, we must first find the cause based on our own situation. The reasons behind this can be divided into two categories, namely subjective factors and objective factors. Most of them are caused by subjective factors, such as bad sleeping habits. You can take the following methods to solve the problem of dozing off in class.

What should I do if I always fall asleep in class?

1. Pinch the Ren Zhong point: In TV dramas, you can always see people pinching the Ren Zhong point when someone faints. The Ren Zhong point is the vertical line under the nose. In traditional Chinese medicine, the philtrum is an important channel for qi and blood in the human body. The reasons for drowsiness may also be due to the poor circulation of qi and blood in the upper and lower parts of the body, resulting in cerebral ischemia. At this time, pinching the Ren Zhong point can effectively solve the problem!

2. Massage your temples: When you are sleepy, your eyes are always closed and you are prone to fatigue. The temples are special acupuncture points for treating eye fatigue. Rubbing your temples with the palms of your hands can invigorate your spirits, eliminate fatigue, and sleepiness will no longer be a problem!

3. Massage your shoulders: The reason for drowsiness may also be due to working at a desk for too long. You might as well give your shoulders a thorough massage. Don't be afraid of pain. Use your hands to pinch and hold various parts of your shoulders. Focus on massaging the areas that feel most obvious. After the massage, you will feel refreshed and no longer drowsy!

4. Stretching: Although stretching is a simple action, it is very effective in driving away sleepiness. Stretching can promote blood circulation in the body. It is best to cross your hands and lift them above your head, while taking a deep breath. Put them down when you are out of air. After a few times, you will feel a lot more relaxed and will be less sleepy! It has been proven to be effective, you can try it!

Generally speaking, it is easier to change one’s own reasons. It is actually quite easy to avoid feeling sleepy in class. Go to bed early every night and don't stay up late playing with your phone; exercise more often; walk out of the classroom to stretch your muscles during breaks, or do eye exercises to relieve eye fatigue; supplement your nutrition, eat more vegetables and fruits, as well as protein-rich meat and dairy products. If you get enough nutrition, your mental state will naturally be better.
