Impossible la.. The lecture goes on quite fast too.

Classyfied SG

Er i sleep ard 5 hours a day for the past 8 years leh...used to it liao. Laughing

MingFreeman SG

Not good lar.

It is only a matter of time when its damaging effects take their toll on your body.

Icemoon SG

Lecture is only a mean to an end.

IMHO, it is one of the worst way to learn a subject.

Try to catch a nap in between the main points. You go lecture to highlight what's important only.

If you have a lot of things to copy, you won't sleep.

No one asked what CCA is that.

No one says anything about quality of sleep.

Relax your muscles, cool down, drink something hot or what before going to sleep.

Don't just bath, and dump yourself in bed.

On bed, close your eyes, and rest.

Back should rest fully on the bed.

The area around your backneck and shoulders should rest on the pillow if possible. Don't leave a hollow space between the pillow and bed. This may strain the neck more.

Hope all helps. Mr. Green

Why don't you do this, during lecture sit at the first row. Start of lecture close your eyes and doze of. I guarantee you, after a while the lecturer buay tahan will scream the hell out of you. You will surely keep awake for the rest of the lecture. Cool

greenblackwhite SG

just keep spamming frost or tic tac or potato wedges during lect.

Actually 5 hrs of sleep in army is considered very gd. So it is sorta training u for NS lah. But i suggest u quite ur CCA, afterall in the A's academic results come first. Even if u are graded A for CCA, and get Es for A's, u wun be heading anywhere. Wink

huy SG

slap urself real hard on the face...

quit ur cca. i noe some team mates of mine who are so into their ccas, until they flunked their modules because they simply cun afford the time to attend group projects meetings.. so if u feel that u cun cope with it, it better to quit ur cca.. studies is more important..

Icemoon SG

Erm .. they ensure you have 7 hours of sleep.

I think army is the time you sleep the most in your life.

'cos when you have nothing to do, you sleep. In between lessons, you sleep. in the tonner you sleep.

Airforceone SG

Drink lots of coffee, eat sweets, send & receive SMS, write notes, worst case smoke during breaks.

to the TS:

kinda surprised u actually chose to be in a JC thru DS, and to pursue your interest at the same time.

i guess u gotta tahan for awhile more until result release ba.

bcos IMO, to really ensure you get the best benefits, try considering poly. mroe advantages. esp for sports, shouldnt be a big problem here.

bcos over there u study the course module by module, not like a subject which comes in a big and hard-to-digest chunk. somemore certain modules are by continuous assessment. even after reserving some time for doing tutorials/research u'll still have some free time here and there. looking at the situation in JC right now i guess u find it hard to even complete some tutorials?

I'm assuming that in addition to sleeping in lectures, your grades are also slipping?

(Some people sleep during class still manage to do well. If you're this type, then just sit at the back and sleep Laughing )

Competition season definitely needs intensive training, it's more relac during exam time. For this period go to your tutors and tell them you have problems with schoolwork due to training, ask to see them privately when you have questions so that they can give you extra help. I think the school & staff would be able to help you in light of your CCA commitments.

Drink coffee. I used to drink 3 cups everyday because almost every night working part-time. Reached home, bathe and wait for hair to dry, sleep at about 12.30am or 1 am everyday and wake up at 5am everyday. But I always reach school early so before school start, I just lie on the bench and sleep.

Otherwise, I just take a quick nap in lectures. Sleep for a while, after that wake up damn refreshed. But sometimes really too tired, slept all the way till lecture end. Other time, if not so tired, half-way sleeping hear important points, wake up and start taking notes.
