But I got some really different tips. The difference is, I guess, I'm focussing on one class, not the whole day. But I seriously do agree with the last point. It's all about interest. You have to be interested in everything the teacher will tell you, and you will be awake anyway. Oh my god, I actually wrote about the same topic. But I got some really different tips.

As soon as I put them away (to pay attention), I drift off (ironically). Same with water - while I'm drinking, I'm awake. I'm also too lazy to go to the bathroom, so I wait until it's an emergency, but that definitely keeps me awake, too! So everything you've said definitely works!

You don't want to eat a steak & potatoes dinner and then try to keep your eyes open in class. Small, snacky foods like a protein bar or some crackers are a better option for class time. @ Adlin: I agree–protein and carbs in moderation is best.

I'd definitely recommend you try some fruit, carbs, or proteins over caffiene though--that can give you a jolt but sometimes makes you feel even more tired once it wears off. :-) Haha that’s a really good point Njumi–too much water is bad.
