Ways to stay awake

Ways to stay awake

 

Sometimes you have to stay awake all night due to work, exam or maybe because of some situation. Staying awake can be a real challenge. Here are some tricks and hacks to help you stay awake.

Turn all the lights

Darkness cues your body to release melatonin, a hormone that makes you feel sleepy. Turn lights widely throughout the room. Look for a bulb that can simulate sunlight. This should help you stay awake longer.

Drink water

Drinking water is healthier and is also effective in keeping you alert. That’s because dehydration can make it more difficult for you to concentrate on your work. So drink enough water and stay focused.

Avoid heavy meals

Avoid huge, heavy meals. It's a well-known fact that people tend to fall asleep after eating hearty meals. Instead, have something lighter, such as a salad.

Take activity breaks

Moving around is helpful for staying alert, and taking short breaks can help you maintain focus. Set a timer for every hour or so and do something that gets your blood pumping, but doesn’t exhaust you, for example, a quick walk or just dancing.
