HOW TO STAY UP ALL NIGHT:
But here I am going to tell you if you have an important
project or assignment that needs to be completed before the morning, and you
really don’t have any time, and so the only option you are left with, is to
complete the project by burning the midnight oil. But it’s not that easy for
everyone to stay awake at night for more than 2 hours. So here are few tips
that helped me when I was preparing for my university examinations:
1. 1. Drink Coffee:
If you want to stay up all night to work or
study, then no other thing is as good as drinking a cup of coffee. Coffee and
Tea, both are stimulant drinks. These drinks contain a drug called caffeine,
which has psychostimulant properties. And any drug which has psychostimulant
properties effects our brain’s function, like how we think and feel. Coffee can
rejuvenate our mood. It dispels tiredness and improves energy. But most
importantly coffee helps in getting rid of drowsiness. In a study it was
found that if someone takes 600 mg of coffee then it helps to boost
energy levels and kill drowsiness. So, the next time you are trying to stay
wake for the college assignment, do not forget to take a cup of coffee.
Disclaimer: It is advisable that people
with certain health conditions like hypertension, asthma, COPD or any
cardiovascular disease should not take coffee, as it may make their problems
worse.
2. 2. Do not yawn:
We yawn due to multiple reasons but the most justified reason is, because of low oxygen levels in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus of the brain, we have the urge to yawn. And when we yawn, we feel a bit sleepy. The more and more you yawn, the sleepier you get over time. So, when you are trying to stay up all night, do not yawn at all. It will be difficult not to yawn, but with practice you can easily control yawning.
3. 3. Work in a well-lit room:
Working in a well-lit bright room dispels your drowsiness. Because light plays a key role in regulating circadian rhythm which is the body’s internal clock that signals when to be alert and when to sleep. Light also interferes in the production of melatonin. Melatonin, known by the name sleep hormone, is a hormone which is primarily released by the pineal gland at night, and has long been associated with control of the sleep and wake cycle. So, that is why if you work in a room with bright light, your sleep cycle will be frequently interrupted.
4. 4. Drink plenty of water:
If you keep drinking multiple glasses of water then you would frequently go to toilet. Thus, your sleep will definitely be interrupted. Also drinking water will keep you hydrated. And if you are well hydrated then you will not feel worn out easily.
5. 5. Take a shower:
one of the best methods to get rid of drowsiness is taking a shower. Taking
a cold-water shower will reduce your sleepiness. Taking a cold-water shower will
not only reduce your drowsiness, but also will make you rejuvenated.
