Instead of loading up on caffeinated sugary drinks during the day when you’re tired, try napping.
When I was in college, I worked the night shift. After an 8am French class, I’d go to the library to try to study. But usually that was when my body craved sleep.
I would arrange my books at the carrel to indicate that someone was there but had momentarily stepped away.
I’d crawl underneath the desk and nap. It renewed my energy levels so that I could function for the rest of the school day.
There is no shame in napping. Thomas Edison, President Kennedy, Winston Churchill, and Napoleon Bonaparte were known nappers.
According to Sleep.org, naps help the body to recharge, deal with stress, and helps to put you into a better mood.
After napping- You’ll feel more alert, energized, and decrease your risk of heart disease.
