1. How to stay alert and avoid dozing off

1. Relieve stress: take deep breaths and massage your temples. If you have decided to stay up late at night, you should make some preparations in advance. The first thing you should do is not to eat too much for dinner, just eat until you are 80% full. You can also drink more boiled water. When you feel tired in your body and brain while working late at night, you may want to stop and rest for about half an hour, and then take a deep breath and massage your temples every half an hour. Taking deep breaths at any time can increase the brain's oxygen demand. At the same time, massaging the temples can refresh the brain, drive away sleepiness, and keep the mind clear.

3. Refreshing: Coffee is not as good as American ginseng. Most young people like to drink strong coffee to help them wake up. However, experts believe that it is best not to drink coffee when staying up late, because coffee may also cause insomnia symptoms and consume B vitamins related to nerve and muscle energy metabolism in the body, making the body more tired and sleepy, thus forming a vicious circle. Drinking American ginseng soaked in water will not have such side effects, and it can effectively replenish physical strength, allowing work to proceed smoothly.

Don't eat too much for dinner (eat less rice and noodles), eat hot and easily digestible food; prepare some snacks: milk (preferably hot, you can take a sip when you are hungry); chewing gum (chew when you feel sleepy); essential oils; incense; wind oil, cooling oil (can be smelled and applied on the temples); American ginseng slices or American ginseng (slice and soak in water to drink).

3. Staying up late

Wash your face with cold water (apply it to your eyes); drink cool boiled water (not too much, as it may cause swelling); listen to music, it varies from person to person, some people can stay focused more easily by listening to rock music or background music; massage acupoints, such as the philtrum and temples, for 1-2 minutes; get some fresh air, open the window or go out for a walk (be careful).

4. Things to note when staying up late

Try to lie down less and take more deep breaths; do stretching exercises and use less yellow lights; if your willpower is strong enough, consider setting an alarm on your phone and sleeping a little longer before continuing; the effects of tea and coffee vary from person to person, but try to drink less and the concentration should not be too high, which can easily put a greater burden on the body; eat less sweets; and keep warm (keep the temperature suitable to avoid catching a cold).
