Washing my face helps to keep me awake ?

hi ronnyb, when i am in 12th class my board is near i feel very frustrate and irritating.you know all students feel that but some feel more and some feel minor.any way i study in late night because i never wake up early in the morning.but when i study in the nights i feel very sleepy then i also wash my face and i feel very fresh for few minutes when i feel again sleepy then i do this again.sometimes my mom making fun with me on this unforgettable situation because i feel i am doing like stupid.

hot or warm works best for short times and cold works longer for me.

Hi ronnyb, I find washing face is one of the effective ways to keep me awake. Yeah, it will be pretty effective if washing both the face as well as the neck with cold water fresh from the fridge. I have tried to drink black coffee to stay awake but it couldn't work at all, but rushed me to fall asleep much faster.And eating snacks could keep me to be energetic for a short while only Here the weather in day time is scorching hot. I always tent to be drowsy when driving in a long journey after having luch in the afternoon.It would be a high risk to drive in a half drowsy state.No other way I have to keep myself awake and energetic by wiping my neck with hankerchief soaked with cold water from the thermo flask Take care and happy posting

Yes it does. Washing my face does wake me up but if I am really tired it will not take me long to fall asleep again. First thing in the morning I wash my face and I am right to go for the day and it works well when I’m dozing while watching T.V. but as I said, there are those times when exhaustion has set in that washing my face is unfortunately only a temporary measure. I don’t have coffee in order to wake up either, it has no effect like that on me whatsoever, I can drink coffee five minutes before bed and sleep like a baby without a problem!

A cold splash always keeps me awake,not very healthy really.It works enough for a while then I get a headache and need to sleep.

I had always known this but never tried. I shall do it tonight as I want to watch a programme on tv. Thanks for reminding me

Hi, ronnyb. I have never tried splashing water on my face. But, I would think that it would work. The coolness of the water can make you feel energized and alert. But this is only for a short period of time though. This is a great energy booster.

I'm sure it would help but i never fight sleep. Have such a hard time sleeping as it is i would welcome being that sleepy. Happy weekend, Ronnyb.

To tell you the truth. I tried that coffee thing and it does the complete opposite. I thought I would be wide awake but it put me to sleep instead. The washing of the face will work but with very cold water.

Ya, I also do the same. When I have my board exams, I wake up in the morning by 3 clock and wash my face , brush and start studying. I cant study in the night. I tried so many times to do night study but I always slept.

Get your foot to warm water has longer effect...
