How to Wake Yourself Up

9 years ago

Hi everyone. I need your guidance yet again. I could not sleep last night and woke up at five am. I am now extremely sleep deprived and in need of a pick me up. Any methods I could try?

Drink coffee.

Loud, energetic music. Sing along if you can, it'll help you draw in more oxygen, thus increasing your alertness.

Going to have to go with Kiel, except with the addition of adrenaline. If you can steal/buy some. (I prefer the former)

Did you seriously just suggest that she take adrenaline?

I hear there's a big market for speed.

Sleep.

Alternatively, whenever you feel tired take several deep, sudden breaths (I do when I feel like i'm about to pass out) and it helps (likely for the same reasons Kiel mentionned). Tense all your muscles suddenly and out of nowhere to "surprise" yourself and increase blood flow. Scream out at the top of your lungs if you're in a place where that won't be a problem. Just in general to harmless stuff that excites you and doesn't require that you exert yourself.

My grandmother has insomnia and she can't sleep - she works all day as well on a farm and clean the house and takes care of a bunch of little kids. It's really taking a toll on her and when I was younger I couldn't go to sleep so she gave me some really good advice: Just rest. Don't toss and turn, just lie down and you don't even need to close your eyes. "The point of sleep is just to rest your body - so as long as you do that, you'll get a pretty similar result." Just forcing myself to stay still (or at least as still as I can be when I can't sleep) helps immensely. Sometimes I don't even fall asleep the entire night but if anything, I feel a bit better like I took a short nap. Hope this helps for next time around.

To wake myself up I usually listen to loud music. Franz Ferdinand is pretty good to get me going in a good mood. As long as it isn't classical/contemporary or slow-moving music then it works to wake me up at least a bit. Depends on the morning more than the music I guess.

Well, I can't even wake up to my own alarm. But, I know how to STAY awake. Just uh, glue your eyes open.

Sexual stimulation immediately after waking up can help.

You could try running in place...  Just don't stop or you'll wind up in the same boat.  :)

This could be a bit late but... I find just yelling to be a good thing to keep me awake. If you can do that, just go outside and just empty your lungs. This could help you because you're taking in more oxygen like this. Also, if there's something important that I need to be awake for (like an exam or something), then take off your outer layers. The cold will help :)

Great. I feel horrible, like I'm sick, and I'm at school now. What to do? Saw the nurse too-didn't say anything.

Get 2 alarm clocks, Place one on your floor, so you will have to get up, and one in the place where you get dressed.
