I'm tired as hell and I have another class at 6pm. What should I do??
I only got about 5 hours of sleep last night, and I've been tired all day, trudging through classes and finishing up a project I have in one class. I have about an hour to rest right now, but I have a review session in my trig class at 6pm for a test tomorrow. And I feel like I just wanna gonna plop down and snooze the night away.

The thing is that I REALLY need to attend this class, because I need to review for this test. But I'm just too tired and pooped out to get any energy to go. I'm afraid that if I lie down in bed, that I'll just fall asleep. What would you do if you were me??

1. Do you have time for a 30 minute nap?
Set an alarm, though.

2. Sleep...
you need your energy for the test. You'll probably do yourself more of a favor by relaxing than pressuring yourself to study.

4. Nap!
You can do it--you have time. Find a couch in the student lunge or the basement of the library, or use the back seat in your car. I was a single parent who worked multiple jobs for many years, and am also an insomniac. That meant on good nights I'd get to bed at 1am, get up at 5:30 to get my son ready for school, work 8 hours, and have an hour between my day job and my night job. 20 minutes was commute, 5 minutes to grab a bite to eat, and 30 minutes blissful sleep in my car. :boring:

Use your cell or watch alarm to make sure you get up in time. Happy napping!

5. Take a freezing cold shower, then have a cup of coffee
That'll wake ANYONE up.

6. Crystal Meth always worked for me
Only way I got through college.

However, I would advise that you don't lie down in bed, cuz you're right - you'd just fall asleep. Coffee. And more coffee. And more coffee. You'll still feel pretty lousy but you'll probably be awake enough to get by.
