Fighting Sleepiness?

Friday, August 19, 2011

Need to stay awake for a couple of hours? Need to stay awake all night? We have all been there. Maybe we were writing a paper due the next day, fighting jet lag, or maybe we are in some horror movie where if you sleep you die. I think there is a horror movie like that out there..... but I am not allowed to watch those types of movies. Anyways I have some tips on staying awake without caffeine.

Tip One. Keep moving. If you are writing a paper take a walk down the hall at least once every thirty minutes. If you are not confined to a desk for most of your time; wonder around the city, your room, your house, whatever.

Tip Two. Snack on healthy foods like celery or apples. It gives you energy.

Tip three. Bright lights. Pretend you are in a Vegas Casino and turn every light on. Close all the windows. This throws off your internal clock.

Tip Four. Pretend to be a super spy. Run around, hid behind chairs, and practice your ninja roll. Get your adrenaline pumping.

Super Spy Music = Muse- Time Is Running Out

Tip Five. Music. Upbeat. Pop. Music.

My playlist

Selena Gomez - Love You Like A Love Song

Kerli - Army of Love

Ke$ha - Blow (My Favorite Music Video Ever)

Lilly Allen - Not Fair

Aly & Aj - Potential Breakup Song



Can't Sleep?

Monday, August 15, 2011

One the many things wrong with me is the fact that I frequently am unable to sleep. So I decided to compile a list of things I do when I can't sleep that you can use if you are even in a similar situation.

1) Construct a panda costume

It will help hide the dark circles
2) Try to imagine yourself as a productive member of society. If you are a productive member of society try to imagine a 22 year old who still pretends to be a disney princess trying to find a job. I usually start with picturing myself dressed up as Ariel (The Little Mermaid) working in an office. 

3) Do leg lifts then work out your abs. If you can't sleep you can certainly get into shape.

4) Text an epicly long story to a friend. Don't worry about quality. Stories that are made up at 4:45 am are always outstanding.

5) Create playlist for every situation in your life. Examples are: finding a time machine playlist, a playlist for being chased by a murder, a my ex will regret breaking up with me playlist, and staring at random stranger playlist.
