Sometimes we are obviously very sleepy, but cannot sleep due to work, study or other reasons. This feeling is too painful and difficult. Let me share with you how I kept myself awake in this situation. I hope it will be helpful to you.

First, the tried-and-true method is to go to the bathroom, wash your face with cold water, and rinse it several times, which is very refreshing. If you are particularly sleepy, you can also take a large basin of water, gently soak your face in the cold water, and hold your breath for about a minute. I remember when I stayed up all night at school, I would use this method to study the next day.

Second, cooling oil is also a great tool for refreshing your mind! Apply it on your temples and under your nose, its special smell will instantly stimulate your brain to wake up. Of course, this method is only suitable for one person. If you are working, try not to do it, because the smell of cooling oil is very strong and some people cannot smell it.

Third, if you want to wake up when you are facing a late night fight, then go ahead and brew two cups of coffee. Drink it in one gulp, and within five minutes, you will be full of energy and go back to work with full fighting spirit.

Fourth, if you feel very sleepy during the day, it is recommended that you get out of the environment that makes you feel sleepy and look at the sky outside. Focusing your attention on a point in the distance can relax your tired eyes, eliminate sleepiness and keep you awake.

Fifth, sometimes when we feel sleepy, it’s just because our eyes are tired. At that time, you need a bottle of eye drops to relieve eye fatigue. After applying eye drops, close your eyes and relax for a minute, and your sleepiness will be driven away in an instant. Of course, if you are afraid that you will fall asleep completely during this period, then play some dynamic music to stimulate your brain nerves and you will not feel sleepy.
