The Dhaka Times Desk Almost everyone has this problem of falling asleep while reading. Many people may think that they will read for a long time today but after a while it is seen that you are on the book or the book is lying on you. As a result, you will definitely have to stand in class tomorrow. Today we will learn some simple and effective ways to avoid falling asleep while reading.
Today we will discuss 5 things to avoid falling asleep while reading:
1. Read aloud: Many read very slowly or memorize. As a result of this many times the attention towards reading is lost. And nowadays it has almost become a habit of ours. Even if you can't read aloud all the time, start reading aloud when you feel sleepy. Then your sleep will escape quickly.
2. Cold water: Try to keep water close at hand while reading. Because when you fall asleep, you don't want to get up. Just when you feel sleepy, drink a glass of cold water and wipe both eyes with a handkerchief soaked in cold water. You will see that sleep will escape through the window.
3. Change of location: Many of us lie down in bed while studying. That is a major mistake. The mind follows the state of our body. If you are running, our mind follows the direction of running. Again if you are lying or sitting in bed then the mind will take over now you want to relax. So sleep comes quickly. Because bed is for sleeping. So leave the bed and use the chair-table for reading. But it is better if the chair is made of wood. Otherwise, if you get more rest, sleep will attack again.
4. Stand up and read: If you sit down to read, just when you feel sleepy, stand up and read. If you stand up, sleep will not reach you. But don't fall for it. Then you won't sleep, but your attention will go to walking. So try to stand up. But there is no need to stand all the time. Just sit down to read and stand up when you feel sleepy.
5. Don't read alone: Many of us read alone. No one sees us reading or sleeping as no one else is in our room. So we fall asleep reading alone. So set your reading table where parents or someone else can see what you're doing. Besides, you can read while you are sleepy or in a place where your parents can see you.
