6 Techniques to deal with sleepiness during exam season

Reading books makes me sleepy, what should I do? 😭 Today, NEXKY shared 6 techniques to deal with sleepiness during exam season. 😚 

1️⃣ Reading in a suitable environment 💡

It’s better to read books in a sufficient light place rather than a dim one. Reading in insufficient light can make you feel more sleepy and is not good for your eyes. Moreover, the temperature shouldn’t be too hot or too cold, as it can disturb your concentration. Most importantly, don’t read books in bed, as it can surely make you fall asleep more easily.

2️⃣ Taking notes while reading ✍🏻

Reading books for a long time can easily make you feel bored. Therefore, you should take notes while reading. This way, you will be more focused because your brain is concentrating on what you write rather than your sleepiness. Moreover, you can review your lesson knowledge by rereading these short notes before exams.

3️⃣ Moving your body 💪🏼

Take a break and stretch for 5-10 minutes. Aim to do this at least once every hour to keep your body active and ready to absorb new information. Moreover, it helps reduce body pain that comes from sitting for extended periods.

4️⃣ Using herbal inhaler while reading ☺️

Using herbal inhalers while reading books can help you feel refreshed, active, breathe easily, relax, and reduce dizziness and stress.

5️⃣ Eating sour snacks 🍬

Try eating sour snacks like sour tamarind, velvet tamarind, dried candied mango, and sour candy to eat while reading. They can make you feel refreshed, reduce sleepiness, improve concentration, and help you relax.

6️⃣ Drinking caffeine beverages ☕️

Drinking caffeine beverages like coffee, tea, and energy drinks can boost your energy levels. Just remember to consume them in moderation to avoid negative effects on your health. 

Anyone feeling sleepy while reading books can try out these techniques. Most importantly, don’t forget to plan your study program. NEXKY guarantees that you’ll finish your reading in time for the exams. 📚✨
