What do you use to get in more study?

I think I've developed a caffeine tolerance :(

Sleep would be the better option.
What happened to the "sleep is for the weak and sane" thing?

I think i'm building a tolerance for caffeine actually.
Before I started drinking coffee often, 1 coffee could keep me up all night. Now I need like 3 coffees these days

Try apples. The carbohydrates in them keep you awake, and some say it's even more effective than coffee. Especially if you've built up a tolerance. :)

Maybe, students found resorting to performance-enhancing substances (coffee, ciggy, sugar, ice cream, ice etc) should be disqualified from sitting the HSC.

don't be a faggot why do you need to be up until 5am studying

Just sleep/dedicate more time to study away from other things if you really need it

some people work better in the early hours of the morning. I realised that for my yearlies, I studied better when I had a nap in the afternoon and then stayed awake most hours of the night studying, have 3 hours of sleep, wake up at like 4 and then continue working until it's time for the exam

Food. But honestly if your body wants you to sleep then it's a good idea that you should. Sleep is important!
