You need to stay awake for a long time to finish a project that needs concentration? Do you think that if you go to sleep you will lose your strain of thought? Heck! All of us face this challenge at least once in our life. The need to stay awake in a world that is controlled by deadlines is the modern world trend. If you did one of the above before, you had probably sought the help of caffeine. Now I came here to bring you different methods other than stimulators that you probably have not tried before.
10 Napping
Taking a short nap is an effective way of getting your mind activated in a few minutes. This might not work, however, if you have not slept for days as you will probably turn the nap into hours of sleep.
9 Shower
Having a cold shower is one such good way of getting awake fast, it is probably better than the nap above. Still, this could be difficult if you are at work. You would replace it with a little splash of water.
8 Air
If you feel asleep and tried to wake yourself with different ways, one simple way is to smell some fresh air. Have a walk or go spend some time watching shops or sit surrounded with some greeneries. The green color specifically has a good effect on mood and wakefulness.
7 Change Position
In order to keep your wakefulness from the very beginning, you need to change your seating position every 30 minutes. You can stand for awhile, just one minute. Moving your legs and body will help blood circulation to reach your mind and this adds up to your wakefulness. Computers are the primary means that keep people shackled for hours in a row, get off of it.
6 Music
Listening to music while you are working can keep you awake for some time longer. A warning here, if you desperately in need of some sleep you will even if we got you Michael Jackson, or could not we? Some kinds of music are better than others for this case, the rock with its upbeat catches your attention and awakes your mind.
5 Deep Breath
Taking deep breath has the same effect of the fresh air on your body and mind, which is the flow of blood circulation. You have to fill your gut with air until you cannot inhale any longer. Then you slowly exhale it, now you can make sure that a lot of oxygen reached your mind specifically as you let it out slowly.
4 Walk
You tend to stick to your office thinking that, this will help you get more of your work done; while if you have been risky enough to sacrifice some time out you might get better results. You might have spent the whole night working that your body still have the night feeling. Fool your mind and show it the daylight. It will forget about sleeping for a couple of hours.
3 Food
Many “all-nighters” tend to forget about food as long as they have left off sleeping for work. The reason is that eating causes them to feel sleepy so they prefer to keep away from it. That is a really bad strategy, so calories will keep you energized and help you focus.
2 Water
The hydration of your body gets down with time, so you need to fix it with a good gulp every now and then. If it is summer, the slow intake of water is absolutely the primary reason of sleepiness.
1 Sunshine
The one important source of energy that many people miss is the sun. It is such an important source of vitamins that you can depend on it in first place.
