tudying at night can be a very challenging task. Before we go into details, I would like to ask you as a college student these questions;

Do you find it difficult studying for more than one hour?
Do you always fall asleep while reading at night?
Do you find it difficult to wake up at night to Study?

If your answers all through are yes, then you need not worry, these are common challenges which students face. The following tips provided below will guide you towards great improvements on academics.

TIPS

Engage in less stressful and strenuous activities during the day. Siesta as well will help.

Eat your dinner as early as possible. Eating late keeps your digestive system at work during the night and more blood glucose and oxygen is channeled there instead of to the brain.

Eat a balanced diet, drink plenty of water to nourish your body and eat moderately for dinner. Brush your teeth before going to bed. Caffeine is not advisable.

Sleep early, you can time yourself with an alarm which would ring about 4 hours (or more) after youve slept. E.g. if you sleep by 9pm, you set your alarm for 1am or 2am.

When you are awake, quickly wash your face with cold water .Brushing your teeth at that moment stimulates the sensory receptors, keeps you awake and alert. Say a short prayer.

Study in a very bright environment .This is one of the reasons you find it difficult to sleep on a sunny day. Dim light would make you feel drowsy and fall asleep.

Do not study one subject for too long so you dont feel bored and dizzy. However study with frequent breaks of about 10 minutes to allow your mind ponder on what you are studying.

Keep you mobile phone or any other electronic device away to avoid distractions.

Visualize what you are studying, use mnemonics, stand up and teach an imaginary audience what you have studied.

Quickly glance through all you have studied and summarize.

take a rest at afternoon, feed well, drink enough water and keep water beside you so you can drink at interval, take your bath and feel fresh b4 u begin...

my little trick, nd least i forget, pray before u begin cos some sleep are not normal

Uchechris06: gud tips. Wil practice it and i pray it wil work 4 me.

Definitely it will..
I hope to hear your testimony soon

Great tips. For me , after I wakeup by 2am, I take my bath and brush my teeth, maybe drink a cup of tea. That way am able to trick my body into been fully alert. I can then read for as long as I want.

Also, a genuine interest in what you are studying will sustain ur staying awake longer.

Nice and useful tips. I apply most of them myself. Only difference being that I wake up by 3:00/3:30am, exercise, brush, shower and dress up for school - I guess this sends the following message to my brain - "baby, it's a new day, let's roll!"....I then read (with full alertness) from that time to 7/8am and leave for school.
Just try to figure out what works for you.

Wow. At first my friends saw d brushing as ridiculous, gud 2 knw it works for others as well.
Depending on what works for u, u could vary how long u sleep . As for me, its ntin less than 5hours of sleep then study follows.

Putting forward this principle on my very first day in college

That's smart of you. I read anytime. The nights are more calm and comfortable but I don't compromise my 6 hours of sleep. However I scheduled the study,I must have 6 hours of sleep else I'll not beat sleep.

Hahahaha..I agree with you brother.
I am guilty of the phone too because I browse while studying.
It's all about discipline o

Nice one OP. You are a scholar indeed.

Hi, did it work for you?

Night reading is good especially during exams.
For me I spread mat and sleep on the hard floor with pillow as only comfort.
I set alarm 2:15am, 2:30am, 2:45am.
Why because if first alarm blows I might be tempted to 'bribe' the alarm but with second rarely third alarm, I know its no longer business as usual. I must ever stand up. Besides I don't place the alarm too close to me to avoid the 'bribing action' in the first place.

I wake up, wash my face, drink water. On extreme cases I put my feet into a bucket of cold water. Who born sleep?
