Is anyone else always really tired? After about 12pm most days i start to feel it kicking in, then after school and especially around 8-9pm i feel like just sleeping :/
I get 8 hours sleep most nights, and dont really study excessively probs do 2~ hours worth of hw most nights.
Help... :(
-
I've actually started noticing this myself, I seem to get really tired eyes between 8 and 9pm even though I'm getting 8-9 hours of sleep a night. It sucks.
-
Exactly the same as me man! Back in year 8 I could easily smash out 4 hours a night when it was obviously completely unneccesary, and lately I've been doing about 2 and feeling destroyed at 9. The solution = don't slay the women on the weekend and you won't be tired! But think about priorities of course. Women > study

happens to me, but i get tired right after school ends.. try exercising and sleeping 8hrs? I only get like 5hrs sleep, maybe that's my case.
ideally, if you're tired and stress, you'll feel better on swiss.

Yeah i really need to start studying more efficiently i.e. get off fb/msn/tv. I think ill try upping to 9 hours a night and see how i go with that.
I probs do enough exercise at school anyway - play footy/basketball at recess/lunch
I CANNOT WAIT FOR THESE HOLIDAYS!!! EVEN THO I HAVE PRAC EXAMS/LECTURES THINK ABOUT THE SLEEEEEEEEEPPP!!!!!! :D

Hmm verbs such as 'slaying' and 'ravaging' these days have different connotations, although remain somewhat accurate in a sense :D

Diet? Maybe eating low-carb stuff helps? My mum's taken in to eating these dried cranberry stuff with lots of Vitamin C, plus orange juice, Vit C tablets... It sounds like we're a hard-core health family but that's hardly the case if you see what we ACTUALLY eat. But it's good for clearing my mind lately.
Get a good brekkie or lunch to keep you guys alert throughout school. Try eating proper sandwiches, and not anything with too many carbs because that just makes you sleepy.
Maybe you guys just need a quick nap after school. I used to do this, but it eventually turned from a "quick nap" to a ~2-3 hour sleep. So now i go take walks with my dogs after school (30 mins) and then start some homework.
But then again, i think our whole neighbourhood knows we're nocturnal.

no he's a good catholic boy ;)

Yeah, I'm getting this too - I'm on hols now too - I get tired so easily and fatigued. I don't know why, but my brain is working at 10% all the time. It's annoying! My sleep patterns are okay.
-
Nobody is superhuman: at this point in the year (right before final holidays), it's VERY natural to get extremely tired. My recommendation is that you all take two or so days off as soon as you can in the holidays, where you just do nothing except what you find leisurely. Some of you might think this is a waste of time, but trust me, you'll NEED the recharge in energy. You're not going to burn out at this point in the year, but you CAN get very, very, VERY tired, and that's something that will definitely hinder your performance.
-
Yep, I get tired. I think I need to get more exercise/stop eating Maccas and ramen.
-
I have to say, I like your sig funky!

If I had to give my #1 tip on how to stay active throughout the day, its this:
Take a ~15 min jog in the morning before you go school. Put some pump up music on. Not only does it spring up your metabolism for the day and keeps you wide awake and active, it also gives you time to reflect on your goals and aspirations and leave you motivated for the rest of the day. It does wonders for myself.

Glad to hear that im not the only one! But yeah i cant wait to have a few days of just watching movies :D
-
yeah i agree....i used to work well at night but coming to ten i just want to go to bed....the effects of yr 12
-
Everyone's pretty much already said it... good diet and exercise; give in to the 3:30itis and take a nap when you come home from school if you want; try 10 hours sleep if 8 isn't enough because everyone is different (teenagers need more sleep than adults anyway).
-

that's right, you and your vn buddies go off watching movies, whilst i gain precious hours ahead of you all
wake up 6:00am , study from 6:30 till 12pm, eat, exercise, resume studying from 1:30pm - 10pm. sleep
-
^^ is that what you do??? good on ya. seriously i feel so sleepy when doing work but suddenly become more alert once i log on to fb or go on the net. so when i feel that im getting sleepy i just take a few mins on the net to wake up, Which is what i'm doing now hah
-
I'm only getting ~7 hours of sleep a night during the week and am usually tired (especially in the mornings)... exercise + diet is never a replacement for sleep - I exercise 5 times a week and eat pretty healthy but still feel pretty tired throughout the week. But I know as well as you guys do that this can't always be helped in year 12. Probably best to suck it up during the week then use the weekend to catch up on much needed sleep - it's not the best solution but I find it keeps me going...
-
Exercise actually reduces fatigue and lack of exercise makes you feel more tired (paradox i know).
Could also do what i did and head down to the pharmacy and load up on nodoz.

No joke, i have an alarm on my phone, which goes off at 4pm (prime time to watch scrubs) which says 'shits gone down'. I used to just turn it off and watch scrubs anyway.

Story of my life.
Myself three weeks ago - Time to finish all my notes + revision + SACs!
Myself now - Watched seasons 1-3 of Breaking Bad, 1 of Freaks and Geeks, 1 of Undeclared, and the usual assortment of Arrested Development.

don't eat carbs to keep you awake. They actually make you feel sleepier (so if you do actually wanna feel sleepy because you're struggling to go to sleep eat carbs)
Protein based foods will keep you awake, so for dinner eat fish, meat and snacks like nuts, etc.
With my tiredness, I can usually go on with 6 hours sleep, but this week has just been murder with sac after sac after sac, and havent got much time to sleep in for the holidays. Lectures from this weekend, coaching mid week next week, more lectures and then trial exams. WASTED!!! and not a good time for it

Why, thank you.
