8 Ways to Stay Awake

5. Do push-ups

Exercise is bound to make the sleepiest people energized. Push-ups, jacks, jumping jacks, a quick jog outside, all these exercises increase blood circulation and pump up fresh blood to all parts of the body, making people more active.

6. Lap up an energy drink

Energy drinks like Red Bull will open up your mind and give you an energized feeling. You could try consuming chocolates or glucose water, as a shot of sugar will increase your alertness by activating your mind.

7. Splash cold water

The oldest technique in the book to avoid sleep from overpowering you is to splash cold water on face. You could also have a bath if your whole body feels like collapsing and hugging the bed.

8. Chew on ice or gum

Nibble on an ice cube or chewing gum, as both of them help people concentrate on staying awake as they are foods that one can’t just gobble up and be done with.
