Hello, and welcome to Staying Awake. Let's start with trying to solve a puzzle. Solving puzzles is a great way to keep your mind awake. Board with puzzles. Try a book! Reading can keep you mind alert and focused. Imagine being in the story your reading. It there an exciting chapter you'd like to be apart of? Or maybe get up and move around to feel awake? Make sure to eat healthy snacks to boost your energy. Like fruits and nuts? Try talking to someone that's awake as well, start a conversation to keep your mind awake! Keep lights on, maybe it's your phone or room light to ease fatigue. Take deep breaths, to rise oxygen levels in your blood. You can rapidly breeth for afew seconds then take slow breaths. Repeat these steps three times, if you'd like. Don't forget to exercise it will keep your heart rate up and you moving! Try to do two sets of 15, it doesn't matter of the exorcise or what your doing. Take a 15 second brake in between. Don't want to work out, feeling sore? Just remember you'll need about five hours to keep your natural self. You only can stay awake for 11 days. Our brains have a metabolic “recycle rate” of about 16 hours. That means if you’re still awake after the 16 hour mark, your brain takes a big hit in terms of performance. If you only get seven hours of sleep for 10 nights in a row, you’ll feel the same level of impairment as if you’d been awake for 24 hours straight. Even more frightening, the effects of sleep deprivation on the brain are similar to those you’d get with a concussion. But I don't think you want to hear that? All you need to do is listen and let it enter your ears. So.
