Your snoring could contribute to your tiredness throughout the day.  I just go to Starbucks and get a frapacino or something.

Sit in the front row, this will help you focus on the teacher and the material and not what is going on around you. This has worked well for me. If you still find yourself getting distracted, try taking notes and NO DOODLING! If all else fails, tape record your lectures for reference later on (you can buy a digital recorder for around $40). If it is a very long class, it will be impossible to pay attention for the entire lecture- talk to your teacher about taking 5 minute breaks when the class seems to be getting restless. Good luck!

Try and relax. You need to sleep every bit as much as you need to study. If you did well in all your classes this year then you should have nothing to worry about unless you are a bad test taker. I was a bad test taker....I was lucky to have professors that knew that and graded me on my class work and homework.\n\nI wish you the best of luck and relax! You can do it.

Goto bed at a decent time.  Stop doing drugs and alocohol and cut the sugar out of your diet.  Go out and get some exercise every day.\n\nYou're not falling asleep because your teachers are boring, you're falling asleep because you're in pour health.\n\nJudging from your username I'd say you're probably pretty hefty.  Get into Overeaters Annonymous.

turn off tv and radio. stay away from noisy environment. keep temperature at a comfortable cool. give in to distracting thoughts for fifteen minutes (as in write down everything that comes to your mind--as in anything!). then mentally tell yourself, i will go back on all these as soon as i finish my homework. it works! try it!

Get out a piece of paper and begin brainstorming. Write random things down on the paper. When you are done, start thinking about them, and then figure out how to turn your thoughts into a daydream. You can daydream about things you would like to do, or see. This makes the time pass so fast, that when you look up at the clock, the hour is over, and it is time to go to the next class. \n\nFold your hands on your desk and look around the classroom, or at someone else. Even better, put your head down on your desk. When you do this, make sure you sit at the back of the room so that maybe your teacher will not see you. \n\nGet out a piece of paper and start drawing. This could also be an opportunity for you to learn something useful. The night before, go to Google and look up how to draw things. Print off a few things, and take the time during the boring class to brush up on your artistic skills! \n\nTake out a pen and a notebook and start to write a story. It doesn't matter how good you are, just start writing about whatever comes to mind\n\nPlay quiet writing games instead of taking notes so you look like you're paying attention.\n\nContinuously stare at somebody for the entire lesson without speaking, and if you can do it,blinking. Make sure that there is no expression on your face and it will really freak them out and will be more fun for you! \n\nPurchase a caffeinated beverage before class such as coffee or cola. It is also a good idea to bring a little snack that is easily hidden\n\nWear as few items of clothing as possible if you want to stay awake, the cold will help\n\nHide more interesting reading material: prop open your textbook and conceals a book or magazine inside it. In addition, it does not hurt to pretend to take notes from time to time. \n\nSend text messages on your cell phone. Engage in a text message conversation with your friends inside or outside of your class. Make sure your phone is in silent mode so you do not draw attention to yourself\n\nPlay games on your cell phone, PDA, or iPod. Be inconspicuous when attempting this. \nPlay Suduku or do a crossword to pass the time\n\nThings You Should Avoid Doing During a Boring Class\n\n\nRepeatedly looking at the clock to see how much time is left in your boring class. By doing this your are setting yourself up for the classic, "I have 15 minutes left!!!". \n\n Making eye contact with a professor. \n\nMaking it obvious that you are not paying attention to the professor during class. \n\nDrawing attention to yourself by talking, sleeping, eating loudly. \nBringing a snack that creates a lot of noise when eating it, such as apples, chips, and food in loud wrappers. These items will attract unwanted attention to yourself, which of course is not good. \n\nor just get over with it. Even though you do not like that class, just try to treat that class like any other job you have. Who knows, you might learn something very interesting by the time you're done!

You sleep because you are bored, if you are in highschool then i suggest you find a way to make those classes interesting without being disruptive... if you are in college then you are taking the wrong stuff... and if you are takin the classes to be what you want to be, then you should probably reconsider that career path.

Well I think that you have to make sure that the material is interesting to you.  Even if it is not interesting you have to make yourself like.  Whenever I study, I find it easier if I am at a coffee house or some where like it.  The public always make it more interesting and you have a few things to distract you but then you can go right back to studying.  Also when I go to the library I take snacks, the sugar helps to keep me alert.  You can also listen to music when you are typing papers.  THis always helps me...Good Luck

Set a schedule for yourself and make certain you get enough sleep! I also suggest that if you have time after class, that you immediately begin reading the material while it is fresh in your mind. Review notes BEFORE class. Also, before you go to bed at night, I suggest you write one page for every subject you had a class in that day and then compare it to your notes. If you got something wrong, then correct it. It's a great way to build memory recall. Take ONE day a week for yourself. Don't study that day, just relax and have fun. If you don't, you will have less motivation and memory recall.

Caffeine.\n\nHere are some things that can help. \n1. Limit daily intake of caffeine especially after 6 pm. \n2. Try to avoid watching TV and hour before bed, if your mind is too stimulated it can keep you awake. 3. Drink enough water during the day, preferably half your body weight in ounces. Water is a metabolism regulator, if yours is stable you will sleep better. \n4. Try to exercise 3-5 times a week, when you sleep your body rebuilds itself, so exercising will allow the body to make you tired by emitting chemicals that allow you to get more restful sleep. \n5. Try to relax about an hour before bed, limit stimulation to your brain, meditate, read relaxing material, listen to soothing music. \n6. One of the best natural treatments for sleep deprivation is lavender extract. Some people dont like it but you put a few drops on your pillow and you will be out like a light.\n\nRegardless of your other issues you have going, some which you may have little control over such as stress, these are small things you can control that can help you sleep better.

Its usually a good rule to keep the noise to a minimum.\n\nTurn off any music and TV's as they can be distracting.\n\nGet some snacks and drinks because studying is hard work.\n\nTry to get a partner to study with as sometimes they have some good skills to share.\n\nIf needed, try to have a tutor along for the ride cuz they will certainly help you out.\n\nUse the library if available as it is always a good atmosphere to study in.\n\n Be Smart and study hard so you can make a great adult someday!\n\n............think about it............

Sorry to read of your stress.  Try some stress management techniques, especially before bed.  Some to try:\n1. Slow, deep breathing: inhale for a count of 4, hold for 4, exhale for 4. Do for 5 minutes several times per day.\n2. Visualization exercises\n3. Progressive muscle relaxation.\n4. Quiet music.\n(You can do an internet search for specific exercises for 2 & 3.)\nMedical school and nursing, in particular, have a stress component built in.  You have to be able to function with a lot of stress to be a physician or a nurse, so learning to cope with this is a necessary life skill.  The instructors tend to feel that a stressful learning environment will "weed out" the students who will not be effective in these professions, so this is an educational philosophy, rather than a personal issue.  I hope this helps, and wish you all the best as you pursue your goal...
