How do you not fall asleep in Math class?

This is a very good question. What worked for me was playing loud, heavy metal music that kept me awake during much of calculus and at least 30% of linear algebra. It didn't work for differntial equations, however, but regular detonation of grenades, strategically spaced outside the classroom, worked pretty well for that class.

I've just finished Maths at College and I passed almost everything top of class. Anyhows, don't focus on misconceptions; instead find the right way to do it and put in effort solving the problems over and over again.\n\nI put in 16 hours the day before the first test that I passed top of class. There's no secret- simply put in the work and pass top of class. Einstein- 'Genius is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration.\n\nEmail me once you pass top of class, or even once you pass.

turn off tv and radio. stay away from noisy environment. keep temperature at a comfortable cool. give in to distracting thoughts for fifteen minutes (as in write down everything that comes to your mind--as in anything!). then mentally tell yourself, i will go back on all these as soon as i finish my homework. it works! try it!

lay flat on your back\nconcentrate on each body part, starting at your toes\nimagine each part shutting down, going to sleep.\nReally concentrate on it...when you can't feel that body part anymore, move up to the next one.\n\nThis will keep you from thinking of other things that will keep you awake.

Do what my parents did.\n  Make a poster of a grid of all the times tables and hang it on the back of her bedroom door, or in plain view of her bed and tell her  to look at it every morning when she's getting dressed for school.\nThrow out  a random problem in conversation every once in a while.\nNo pressure or trauma - just a single question.\n  Make her go in her room and look it up if she doesn't know it.\nHave her repeat the whole problem as well.\n   The more she sees it, the more she'll ingest it and the less stress-free the interaction about it, the less likely she is to develop an mental block against math.

1) do multiplication problems in your head  for 10 minutes before you go to sleep.  \n\n2) Learn three new words   every  other day and spend the\n       next day trying to use them.\n\n3) Use mnemonic devices to remember lists.\n     If you have a list of several items, make a sentence where the first letter of each word corresponds to the first letter of each item in the list.  \n    Example:  the 5 senses are --hearing, smell, sight, taste, touch.   H,S,S,T,T\nYour sentence might be :  He Should Stop Telling Tales.\n4) Practice memorizing states and capitals.  Little by little and every night for a little while.  This will help your concentration\nand will keep your memory active.\nRepetition is the key.\nWhen you have all the states perfected, start on the countries of the world and the periodic chart.\nMemory is like any other skill; you have the ability, but it requires regular practice.\nGood luck!

Eat an apple(before you start feeling sleepy), give it time to take effect. Don't study while you eat, enjoy the apple. Its healthier and more effective than coffee.

Old habits die hard.  If during your student days you sleep little, then maybe your body requires little sleep now.  You can get back to your "normal" sleeping hours slowly by de-stressing yourself.  \n\nSlow stretch exercises while lying down in bed may be good for you to fall asleep.  I'm not talking about difficult yoga-type of stretch exercises - just stretching your arms over the head board slowly, then go through each part of your body from head to toe. Do small range stretching for each part.  Then inhale and exhale. As you do this you will notice that you'll be yawning.  Your muscles will relax part by part and that will get you ready to sleep.  It's a trick my friend taught me.  Sometimes it works.  The only time it doesn't work for me is when I'm worried sick about something.  Hope this helps.  I know how terrible it is when I don't get enough sleep so I can imagine your situation.

Try and relax. You need to sleep every bit as much as you need to study. If you did well in all your classes this year then you should have nothing to worry about unless you are a bad test taker. I was a bad test taker....I was lucky to have professors that knew that and graded me on my class work and homework.\n\nI wish you the best of luck and relax! You can do it.

There are many way to make studing fun. You could listen to your favorite music and put your homework to music. If math is your weak subject, remember, its only numbers. There a thousands of games, techniques for learning math and its fun. Example: Have you ever built a bird house? All the laws of geometry are use. Angle,diameter.circumfrence,pythagorean relationship, volume ect. The thing is you never realized you were doing math when building the bird house.  This application can be used is all your classes.  Let you instructor know that your having trouble with testing ( I would bet your daily home grades are great) and ask for alternative means of learning that subject. Ten to one they'll give you a ton of usefull methods and even have fun themselves shouw you.  Instructor find education boring also, and tust me we try to liven it up when ever we can.  If it will help you understand the material we instructors will help you.  Lastly, if your parents are not tuned into the new education material,don't ask them, they will more than likely just tell you to buckel down on you studies.  Hope iI helped.

1.  Calm down.\n\n2.  Relax and take deep breaths when you feel stressed. \n\n3.  Get a day planner and use it religiously for the first 6 months.  Schedule everything including taking breaks, exercising, going to the movies, schoolwork, etc.  This method will allow you to see where you procrastinate.\n\n4.  Get a buddy to help you keep to your schedule as much as possible (a reminder buddy - not a brutal beat-me-up-if-I-miss-an-appt buddy).\n\n5.  Talk to your school counselor about your class schedule and get a tutor to help you over the hump until you can develop good learning habits.\n\nGood luck!

I can see how desparate you are.\n\nHey I saw your message posted on too many message boards to ignore it any further.\n\nLet me tell you this......\n\nI am currently doing my bachelors in Engineering and I do know the position you are in.\n\nThere are several tips I could give you:\n\n1. First record your answers into a tape. "Listen to it when you are about to fall asleep". This helps a lot as the answer is subconciously loaded into the memory in the state of semi-sleep. You have to understand that this is effective(highly) but only in the state of semi-sleep. There is a great theory that a person obeys almost anything in the state of semi-sleep. That is the basis of hypnotics.\n\n2. Prepare your own notes for studying. It always helps a lot when you jog down the data to suit your needs. Say you could prepare separate notes for definitions, theorems etc.\n\n3. Have a "carry in the pocket note". This is not only useful for you now but for the rest of your life. You could have all math formulae or something very important like theorem statements(v.Important ones) You could just give them a glance while you are travelling or when you are bored etc. This is very helpful\n\nfor math practice is must\n\n4. After a month of this, write model tests. I suggest that you first get the Q's from the teachers but later you start preparing your own Q-papers. This helps improve your prediction skills and you will be able to understand the mentality of Q-paper setters. It is a very useful skill considering that you would like to be an engineer.\n\nFinally man have faith in yourself. That is the most important thing of 'em all.\n\nThere is this EQ-----> Emotional Quotient. Be less tensed as possible as it helps to increase your EQ. It is very important because it is very important to reproduce everything that you have studied.\n\nBest of luck
