Movement is a well-documented energy booster. In addition to helping you stay awake, it may also help relieve exam-time stress and improve your ability to actually remember what you study.

2. Let there be light
It might be tempting to get comfortable while studying, but it won’t help you stay awake.
By keeping studying and sleep areas separate, you’ll also be making it easier to turn off your brain when it’s time to go to bed.
4. Avoid your bedroom
Fatigue or sleepiness is sometimes a sign of dehydration. But dehydration won’t just drain your energy — it may also disrupt cognitive functions, making studying difficult.
5. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate
While it may be tempting to treat yourself while studying, it won’t help you stay awake. Sugary snacks and junk food can make your blood sugar spike and then crash, leaving you feeling sluggish.
6. Don’t forget to eat (healthy)
Reading and rereading class notes or a textbook might not be enough to keep you awake, let alone absorb information.
If you prefer to study individually, you might find that simply studying in the presence of other people makes it easier to avoid falling asleep.
8. Study with friend
Sleep plays an important role in mood, attention, motivation, and memory — all of which affect learning. It’s no surprise then that poor sleep is associated with poor academic performance.
