I got real sleepy while i was reading my reviewer on the Legal Foundations of Education earlier this afternoon. It's not due to lack of sleep. If anything, I'm getting more than enough of it these days. I do, and i mean i really do, blame it on whoever prepared my reviewer. Bloodyeverlastingheck. It's more boring than listening to my 58yearold history teacher back in highschool. I stood up, made myself a cup of wonderful smelling coffee and settled comfortably back on my chair. I was ok for about a half an hour. Half an hour - that was just about it. In less than an hour I felt the table pulling my head back down. Back was the sleepiness. Coffee doesn't seem to have any effect on me anymore. I guess that's what happens when you drink it all too often. Anyway, going back to sleepiness, i pulled up my search engine and looked for tips on staying up and alert through a boring ordeal. I got tons of suggestions. Here are some:

-- eat an apple. (a healthier and cheaper choice)
-- move! don't stay in one position too long. or better yet, take a walk around the room (to jolt those sleepy nerves)
-- get some fresh air
-- allow yourself some creative distractions
(this one is only for those with enough self-discipline ^^)
-- take a splash. (wash your face with cold water)
-- change your clothes, right down to your underwear. ( this is actually quite effective, unless ofcourse you changed to your pajamas ^^)
-- try eating sunflower seeds (it doesn't work for me but who knows, it might work out for you)
-- stop thinking about how tired or sleepy you are! (most of the time we're not really that tired)

This one is my favorite :

-- drink lots of water. dehydration will reduce your blood volume and that's going to make you feel tired and thus, sleepy. drinking lots of water works two ways : it'll make sure you get your needed daily intake of water which is very good and it'll force you to stand up and walk to the toilet every now and then (even when you don't feel like standing up ^^).

         And oh, I also visited my sister's school website to check out her tuition fee. They must be using gold chairs now. The fees are skyrocketing, I swear. The figures definitely buzzed me up. Come to think of it, that might just keep me up for several nights. Hahah
