How to stay awake
Hi, J2 student here. For some context, never really been a strong student in JC. As expected, I flunked my recent CA1s and I really feel like I should get it in order before my prelims and As. I think the big issue of the reason I did so badly this time round is because I’m way too tired to clock in additional study hours during my week. Of course, my laziness and my lack of effort in studying is also a reason and something I should improve on, but my sleepiness has been affecting my schedule more than in J1. For context, I usually try to sleep latest by 12 midnight and wake up at 5.30-5.40 in the morning because I live quite far away from school. 12 is the absolute limit I’ve set as my sleeping time because that’s the only way I can manage to fit in at least some time after school timetable to do homework, study, etc. My body constantly feels fatigued which messes with my concentration and I can sleep for almost 16 to 17 hours on weekends if I’m undisturbed. Any tips on how to manage this slightly better?
