Always find myself doing this apart from at like 10pm I suddenly get some weird energy to sit and actively apply myself 😭

You feel sleepy while studying then go to bed then boom your sleep is gone

[aaqib]

guy felt sleepy while saying the solution so he just didn't

💯 true, caught myself doing that with anatomy text book, but when I read materials about cars 🚗 I'm very engaged and not sleepy at all 😂

I find that when I'm actively engaged, I can study but feel really tired after an hour or so. I want to study more but I just feel drowsy. I rest for 5-15 minutes but it's just not enough. It's kinda like doing pull ups. I'll do a set of 15 pull ups but then if i rest for 5 minutes, the next set, I can do only 12, rest for another 5 and i can do 10 if I put max effort in. Quality over quantity for sure but I feel like I just can't get enought quantity of quality studying time.

You have greatly underestimated me. I nearly fall sleep solving numericals! Numericals are the most "active" learning. I love studying, I love math. But this sleepiness is insane. Please help.

I find that whether I’m actively or passively studying that I’m just tired.

[HelpIdkwhattodolol]

I oftentimes feel sleepy cuz i think too much on the topic that i just wanna take a break cuz i really couldn't understand it. And the fact that i didn't like the topic sometimes but sometimes even if i do like it still occurs

[Cupcakeeee]

I always do this with government homework it’s SO confusing and makes no sense. The words are so complicated for me I just start spacing out even if I try so hard to understand I fell like every second I have to search up the definition of a word I read.
