How to stay awake without coffee and tea?

Posted in awake | 4 Comments »

Ok, here’s the thing – I didn’t sleep whole night (actually 44 hours now) preparing for school: doing lots of homework for my finals. I am not sleepy yet, but I know that I will "suffer" from falling asleep in class in the same time forcing myself to stay awake. So, do you have any idea how can I refrain myself from passing out without drinking any tea or coffee (which I hate the outmost of all drinks)? Thank you!

Try Red Bull

What can I do to make myself stay wide awake during class especially in the morning?

I usually sleep around 11pm or maybe later and would wake up at 6:30 am everyday except weekends. Even if i sleep early, i would still be very sleepy during the day. My earliest class starts at 8:30am and whenever I stay in that class i always feel sleepy and would just want to close my eyes but i know i wouldnt do that because i need to pay attention to the lectures. Is there a way for me to stay wide awake during school? I know coffee and caffine maybe one way but i dont want to end up being addicted to it and i cant afford to waste any more money. Any suggestions for a freshman in college?

I go to bed around 11 and wake up at 6. My first class is at 7:25. The best thing to do is to eat carbohydrates about 12 hours before you want to have energy (so about 8:30 at night). You can eat some bread, crackers, pasta, etc. Since the structure of carbohydrates is a polymer of glucose, it takes longer for the bonds to break. That is why there is delayed energy. That’s why when most people have sugar, they have a quick burst of energy (monomer bonds break faster). That usually helps me out a little bit. When you eat large breakfasts, you also feel more tired because your body focuses on digesting. In order to stop this, have something light….a banana is what I found works really well. Other than that, I suggest that you try to not mess up your sleeping schedule on weekends. That only makes you more tired because your body has to adjust. What I usually do is allow myself not to sleep past 9 in the morning on weekends and not to go to bed later than 1. Other than that, exercise will usually help you get to sleep earlier so that it is easier to wake up earlier. Try to limit your caffeine intake. Caffeine can remain in your body for about 12 hours, so don’t have caffeine in the afternoon. If you really want a better jump, just have a little bit of caffeine in the morning, but not anything with too much sugar because you will "crash."

Why are all the owls awake and squawking during the day?

May 272010

Posted in awake | 2 Comments »

Here in the western NC mountains, all of the owls were awake in the woods around 3pm. It seems really odd, you could hear them, many of them! I also saw two that were awake as well. Is this a "sign" of something?

that’s how owls are. they are nocturnal.

How long should a 6 week old be awake for during the day at a time?

Everyone keeps telling me that at about six weeks old, a baby should have longer wake periods? How long should this be? My little baby girl stays awake about 1hr-2hrs and then shows tired signs. It can then take another 1/2hr to 1hr to settle to sleep?

I have a 7 week old and she will sleep 4 hrs straight, nurse and then sleep another 4 hours at night. She then has an active period in the morning for an hour or two and then nurses and goes back to sleep for about 2 hours. That goes on through the day.

Believe me, your baby is completely normal.

*Is it just me or does everybody seem to think your baby will be just like theirs?

How much awake-time does your 5 month old baby have between naps?

May 202010

Posted in awake | 2 Comments »

My 5 month old daughter usually goes to bed around 8-830pm, sleeps thru the night and wakes up at 6am. But she usually can only be awake for 1hr 15mins- 1hr 30mins before she needs a nap… So she has about 4 naps a day (each lasting around 1 to 2 hrs).

Is this too much? I can’t keep her up for longer because she just gets too cranky.

Any suggestions?

Just remember every baby is different! I know plenty of mothers that would be jealous of your baby’s schedule. My baby was very similar. She is 21 months and still naps about 3 hrs in the day time an goes to bed at 8pm and gets up at about 6:30-7am. As long as your doctor thinks that she is progressing normally both physically and mentally than trust me…enjoy it!
