Let's face it... studies can be taxing if the reading material is quite boring. Not to worry! There are a few things you could do to avoid sleeping while studying. For one, you could try reading out loud your assignments to help studying by using more than one sense to retain new information. Second, you could try to review reading materials with a little walk around the room. Walking around the room breaks up the physical monotony and helps prevents muscle fatigue from keeping the same physical position for extended periods of time. Lastly, you could eat foods or drink beverages that are guaranteed to boost your metabolism and give you extra energy when you need it. Foods that increase your mood include blueberries, air-popped popcorn and coffee to name a few. I hope this helps. Good luck on your exams!

My main suggestion would be to get some sleep. If you're having trouble devoting eight hours of your schedule to sawing logs, then that's your real problem. So get to sleep; it's only eight hours. You won't get addicted or nothing. C'mon, try it. Everyone's doing it. You wanna be cool doncha? You wanna fit in doncha? I had the same problem when I switched to my semester two schedule. I had 8 o'clock classes 4 out of 5 days of the week, but I was still going to bed at 12 and waking up at 6am. I nearly failed my statistics course I was so sleepy. I would stare at the front of the room and just feel my eyes beginning to close. "I'm just gonna rest my eyes for a bit" And then I'd wake up staring at my lap with the whiteboard half-filled with equations. I would also just black out while studying. I got over it, though, by rolling my bedtime back to 9 o'clock. I felt stupid for it and mentally teased myself for having the same bedtime as an eight year old, but in the end it was worth it. Now my eyes aren't blurry all the time, and I no longer feel the need to take flash naps in public. I'm cured and you can be too. Try the restorative power of sleep. It's been scientifically proven to... make you... happier. Or something. Sleep: It's good for you. If you want a quick fix. Well, there really is none. You can try high doses of caffeine and loud music, but it has been proven that well-rested individuals do retain knowledge better. Sleep is almost (if not just) as important as study when it comes to getting the grades. Trust me. Do you know how much I had to study for my statistics course just to make the grade? Of course not; you're not me. But if you were me, you'd know that catching some z's would have relieved a lot of pressure from your life. It's always best to take the proactive solution. Like they say, an ounce of prevention is equal to... I don't know what exactly; I'm more into metrics, but it's bigger than an ounce.

Don't use caffeine for starters. Everyone swears by coffee or soda. It will cause your mind to wander while you are trying to concentrate. Also music can help at times but if you are sleepy the rhythm of some songs will put you out. Stand. Take a breather outside especially if it's cold. Take a colder shower than normal.

Each person has a different way to stay awake.
Try having some coffee; the caffeine will keep you awake, or walk while you read or just take a long walk when u start feeling sleepy.
Washing your face with water also helps a lot

If you're sleepy, it just means you're not studying right. Studying smart is better than studying hard. You just got to find a method of studying which suits you better.
