Falling asleep in class has been a problem for me since I started high school.
So I'm curious, was/is falling asleep in class a problem for you?
And if it is, do you have any tricks or methods to stay awake? Other than getting enough sleep. (even though with 8 hours I'll still fall asleep in some classes)
I've tried a couple things to try staying awake, the ones I remember doing most are one time I bought a pack of caffeine mints and was literally popping them all day, barely helped at all.
The one that appears to work best is biting my hand. It hurts but manages to atleast keep my mind awake of my eyes drop. I had to do it earlier today so I've got a red mark where I bit my hand in the fleshy part right below the thumb. To keep myself awake I have to bite hard though, like har enough where I don't break skin but hard enough where I not only get the imprint of my teeth but I get the imprint of the back of my teeth which can stay from anywhere to fifteen minutes to two hours. (the back of my teeth imprint because the back of my teeth don't do straight up, the slope slightly into a sort of 'shovel' shape)
