Here, I am going to explain 15 tips to avoid sleep while studying. how can we avoid sleep and make our studies effective?

Sit in a straight position.

The first tip is , you need to sit in a straight position while studying. Sit in a chair with flat back and avoid cushioned or comfortable chairs. Avoid study sitting on the bed. The scientific reason is that, when our body is in a relaxed position, our body secretes a hormone called Lactin. This lactin give signal to our brain that, it is the time to relax, it is the time to sleep. So, to avoid the large secretion of lactin, we need to avoid comfortable sitting positions while studying.

When we are in a comfortable position, and lactin is produced, our body is being forced to do two opposite things at the same time. one to study, and the other to relax and sleep. which one will win? the sleep 🙂

so, there should be a physical activity while we doing something continuously. When we sit straight in a chair, we are taking some physical effort to do so. And by sitting straight the problems like neck pain, back pain etc due to wrong sitting positions can be avoided.

2. Strictly avoid the lying position

some students study lying on their bed or sofa or something. But, the problem is that after sometime we will have a tendency to take rest for sometime, and fall asleep. There also, the brain get the two contradictory signals; to sleep and to study. And the sleep will win again.

3. Take notes while you read

It is a good practice to take down notes while you study. It will avoid sleep as it is also a physical activity. Note taking also helps in the better retaining of the things we studied .Note taking is also an art. In the video I have uploaded in “My Notebook” You Tube channel, I explain in detail about the note taking and the art of note making.

4. Change the topic if you feel sleepy

If we are studying the same topic for a long time, we will feel bored and automatically feel sleepy. Then, change the topic, Take a topic that you have interest in. then continue study.

5. Change your sitting position frequently.

6. walk and study for some time

7. Read loudly whenever possible.

if you are studying for a long time, and feeling sleepy try reading aloud for some time. This will also help in registering data in our brains faster.

8. Avoid reading continuously without a break.

some people read continuously for a long time without a minute break. The problem is that, on doing so, they will enter in a semiconscious state. that is they are in a state of half mind.

They may be reading without actually understanding, what they really reading. If it is not registered properly in mind, we cannot recall the things and retain in our memory. Taking a break is must during study.

9. Avoid keeping eyes too much close to book

It is not advisable to keep eyes too much close to book while you reading. That will make our eyes tired and that will lead to sleep. So, try not to give to much strain to eyes.

10. Do some easy exercise

Take a 5 minutes break for every 50 minutes, and do some easy exercises like walking in the courtyard, go outside and get some fresh air etc, this will stimulate brain activities and avoid sleeping.

11. Take a small break.

12. get a cold shower or wash your face.

If you are too much tired and feeling sleepy, and cannot compromise the time,then you can take a cold shower or you can wash your face to feel better.

13. drink plenty of water.

Drinking plenty of water is very good for body and mind. We need to be hydrated always. make a habit of drinking more water. it will help in avoiding sleep also.

14. Study in groups.

when you study in groups with people having the same aim ( to get a Govt job), your study will be more effective and you will not feel sleepy.

15. take a cat nap (short duration sleep)

If you cannot control the sleep, and tried and cannot study just take a short duration sleep. It is called as “catnap”. But, please make sure that you set a alarm which is in good condition. You should not continue the sleep for a long time. It should just for the refreshment.
