instances like you are in the classroom where your teacher is lecturing something or you are at your work?
When I was still a student, I always go to my teacher and ask for an excuse like I am going to toilet or just going to library. That is the way I keep away from sleeping on my teacher's class. Now that I am working and whenever I feel sleepy, I just take a break and walk outside.
How about you? What are the things you do to keep you always awake despite the fact that you really want a sleep?

hmm yea I remember those days when we were at the classroom, it was hard to stay awake after a late night sleep and especially for those subjects like you don't like, I was barely awake... so painful to have to stay awake for me always. But at the same time, I couldn't eat because it is not allowed in the classroom and in the classroom.

I always feel sleepy during long class hours and I do different things just to fight the sleepiness I feel. Sometimes I just get my notebook and write random stuff there, sometimes I play tic tac toe with my seatmate, sometimes I even pinch myself just to be awake. If that does not work, I go out, take a walk, sometimes buying a cold drink to somehow awaken me.

If there is stairs in the sitaution that i feel sleepy i tend to go up and down, drink water every now and then so that i will always feel teh urge to go the the bathroom.
Go back when i am in the classroom and sleepy, I keep myself busy, keep on writing what comes on my mind.

Sometimes I just need to get up and walk around. I am a teacher and at times I start to feel so tired by the end of the day. Usually all it takes is walking around the classroom a bit. That feeling is definitely awful though - because you know there is no way you can go to sleep yet you feel SO tired!

When I feel sleepy but I can't sleep I start counting all my blessings and thanking God for everything that happens to me wether it is good or bad. I sometimes read computer books, watch tv, or do mylotting until I fall asleep and never forget to pray before going to bed and waking up. I would also try to eliminates everything that worries me. Stress will not get you into sleep. I do some walking outside and love to see the moon and the stars and hoping I could sleep after.

hello annierose , for me I have been in this situation for many times , when I feel so I wash my face with cold water , drink some coffee , and I try to keep myself busy with something like holding a pen and write down some notes but if all these things failed I would ask for permission to leave and go home to sleep
