I still have 3 more finals and everytime I sit down to study I get so sleepy. I can barely keep my eyes open and when I do iI go cross eyed and I can't read my text book anyway. HELP! Any ideas how I can stay awake?

i think having a short nap before u study might help. like 30/40 mins? whenever im exhausted i do that...then i feel a little refreshd after :) good luck!

Get up, and go take a jog around your building, then drink some coffee. If you run, look off into the distance so your eyes focus on something far away (trust, it helps if you are getting cross eyed)

I personally don't think naps help either lol. They always make me even more tired, and makes me want to keep sleeping, not give me motivation to study

Study in intervals. Don't try and sit there for a hour at a time.

well I'll take a guess and say by now you took your tests..

but in future....if you are realy burnedout but still have to study try reading aloud, turn on a fan so the cold air keeps you up, drink some strong coffee, and eat something FULL of sugar or carbs (I'm not saying pig out...I know people freak about weight but you wont gain 5 pounds from 1 candy bar)
