Beating Sleep Deprivation


Sleep deprivation can have serious effects on your health.

-Impaired moral judgement
-Memory loss
-Tremors and aches
-Impaired immune system
-Hallucinations

Dealing with sleep deprivation is really difficult. I never overslept consciously. Some of the things I do to deal with sleep deprivation:

-Don't wear comfy clothings. Wear tight jeans or something like that.
-If you are standing in a room and if there is a bed inside there, get out of there. You will "lie down a bit" and sleep eventually
-Drink water
-Take a cold shower
-Don't read a book. You will fall asleep quickly. That happened a lot to me.
-Listen to metal music or anything that makes a lot of noise.
-Drink caffeinated drinks

But the best things to do when you are in zombie-mod are these:
-Jogging. This really helps. Go outside and take a walk when you get up from your nap. Be careful, when you are in the zombie-mod you sometimes forget what were you doing

-Let's assume something happened and you are stuck in a room. If there is TV watch it but don't watch it like stupid. Think about everything you see. Watch commercials and find their flaws.

-Think about everything. Play games that require attention. Count how many steps does it take to the bathroom.

-Shout. That helps a lot. Look at the mirror and scream. That may sound a bit hardcore but you are trying to be polyphasic. Nothing is hardcore after that. If you are sick of adapdation period you can shout like "THIS [bleep]ING SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK" You will feel better.
