Can I trick my subconscious to stay awake after waking early?

  • Thread starter shivajikobardan

In summary, the person is struggling with waking up early due to laziness and the winter season, but they are looking for ways to trick their body into waking up for just one day. They have an exam tomorrow and have already finished studying, but want to spend more time revising. They are advised to prioritize getting a good night's sleep rather than cramming, and to focus on long-term comprehension rather than studying just for exams. However, the person mentions that their exams are based on memorization, and they feel they don't have enough time or are not capable enough. They also mention the unique feeling of revising something multiple times and wanting that experience again.

You have to follow a similar rhythm for your body to get used to it. Suck it up, you're likely out of luck tomorrow. Get a good night's sleep and stay hydrated.

More light might help.

But if that exam is tomorrow then I may suggest to focus on that and leave this side project for different times.

I would suggest that if the exam is tomorrow a good night's sleep will do you far more good than sleep-deprived cramming. You sound prepared.
Get out of the habit of studying "for exams". Always study for long term comprehension and you don'thave to sweat the small stuff

our exams are memorization based. i approach study for long term. problem is time is too short for exams or i am too dumb and slow minded. that feeling you get when you revise same thing 3 times is unparalleled. i want that experience again :) let's see.
