Missy replied: "50% of the caffeine you consume at 7PM remains in your system at 11PM. This is a chief cause for sleep problems amongst many college students pulling late nights to cram for exams."

toyaed replied: "caffeine tends to last in your system for a while. Most college students take this to cram for an exam."

Marci replied: "Uh, well one thing is that it will keep you awake. lol! When I was in college several years ago I used to often take Vivran. (Depending on your age you may remember the slogan, "Revive With Vivran!") These were caffeine pills that I believed were supposed to be equal to drinking two cups of coffee. Well, I think I took one too many during many late night study periods, because now it takes a hell of a lot of caffeine to help keep me awake. I will get either sick or full from drinking coffee or soda before I feel as though the caffeine has energized me. I've figured that I might have ruined whatever nerve receptor in my brain that caffeine stimulates to rid sleepiness. The lesson here? Too much caffeine = caffeine resistance."

Caffeine alternatives for students? Help please!? I have developed a sensitivity to caffeine lately, it's been making me tremble and have anxiety. Yet I'm a student and I am looking for some sort of aid to focus and have energy, especially for all-nighters. I've heard ginseng can do the trick...any thoughts?

That Gurl of Your Dreamz replied: "My psychology teacher said b6 vitamins,vitamin d, or even cod liver oil, will do as far as energy, and they work if you take either one after every meal and they shouldn't harm you because its natural ( cod liver oil pills ). That's what I suggest."

somanyquestions replied: "I heard sour lemonade does the trick as an energy booster, but I wouldn't count on that statement too much. Eat healthy, balanced meals, load up on carbohydrates and proteins especially (but by all means do not neglect your good fats like your omega-3s from eggs and omega-6s from seafood), and do light exercise every other hour to keep yourself alert even if it's just stretching or jumping jacks, and snack on something like nuts, or pretzels, or any finger food of your choice. Make studying enjoyable, and keep it routine, that way your brain knows exactly when to expect a "work load". And after all of this is done, you can sip on some sour lemonade just for extra measure = )"

trippinballs10 replied: "Ginsing is good. 5 hour energy shots r good and hardly have any caffeine"

wolfmedicinewoman replied: "I've gotta answer this like a Mom because my daughter is a student at the University as well... Get some SLEEP!!! Yes, I know you need to study hard, and maybe even have a part time job or such. But your body is most likely telling you that you need to rest. You'd be surprised that if you got a good solid 8 hours of sleep you'd have the energy you need to pull an all nighter when you need to... but if you absolutely can't get some rest right now, then get some protein (NOT some huge hamburger, just some light protein) into your system and that should give you a couple of hours of cram time ;o) Good luck!"

Judy B replied: "Forget the drugs, get enough sleep. Plan your work so that you have it done before deadline and "all nighters" aren't needed. It has been repeatedly proven that students who study during the day and evening then go to bed and get a good night's sleep do better on exams than those who stay up all night."

A student had 90.0mg of caffeine dissolved in a water solution of caffeine and shook it with an equal volume? of chloroform. What was the mass of the caffeine that was extracted into the chloroform? In a previous question we were given that the partition coefficient is 8. Please show with working Sarah Alt. - If I were a nerd, I'd know how to do the question and wouldn't be resorting to yahoo answers.

Sarah Alt. replied: "ur a NERD"

happyman replied: "The partition coefficient gives the ratio of the solubilities of caffeine in chloroform and in water. It also gives the ratio of the concentrations of caffeine in the two solvents: Co/Cw = 8.0 Co = 8.0*Cw If you are using equal volumes of solvent... you can cancel that out... mo = 8.0 mw mo + mw = 90.0 mo = 8.0(90.0-mo) mo = 90.0*8.0/9.0 = 80.0 mg"

Where do International students consider the best place to study architecture in the UK? This is a poll of sorts. I'm interested in responses from international students who have studied beyond RIBA Part 1 level. I'm asking for responses ONLY from international students because of pertinent factors such as support (essential for such a demanding course) and economic issues (sorry, but fees of approximately 10k a year are serious determining factors for a course of this length and intensity). I have had many international friends who were discouraged in droves due to their experience at architecture school. They weren't dim either, but architecture is a cultural phenomenon and culture differences should be taken into account. Now, should any of you good souls be so kind as to brave typing on the keyboard with all that caffeine pumping through your veins and making you all jittery...I'd appreciate it immensely. What was your learning experience like? How supportive were staff/ tutors of the establishment? Let me know please. A very happy new year to all.

Pondlife replied: "sorry nobody has answered you friend - all the architects I know are party animals. i wouldn't expect anything coherent until at least the 8th of Jan and even then....... Happy New year to you as well"

alectaf replied: "i would say it has to be up in london as that is the place to be in uk"

TheMightyAtom replied: "Hi, I've read your question, and although I am from the UK I have studied abroad myself so I had a little search for some info for you. I found a UK forum called the student room, which has several threads about studying architecture at various UK universities. I thought you could maybe have a browse and see if any international students had posted comments. Or, if you like, you could post some questions there and maybe some international architecture students would reply. There may also be some other discussion forums which you could find using a search engine and the keywords "architecture university international students UK forum" or something like that. Thanks for considering studying architecture in the UK, and keeping university architecture deptartments open, promoting better building design, which may filter down into UK environments!

boop replied: "Take a shower when your tired."

chrystallec replied: "cocaine. Just Kidding! umm...try to get a lot of sleep, that way you're more refreshed during the day, and I hear that exercising helps get the heart rate up which is supposed to make you feel energized."

remixDJ26 replied: "caffine drinks like V or red bull is all i can think of"

Kissingbythesea replied: "sugar. i had to stop taking caffeine in college, but started eating more candy. i then had the chance to laugh at all the people who couldn't stay up late studying because there wasn't any caffeine. good luck. it can be done."

Cassandra replied: "Take a shower cold shower!! Drink an energy drink!! I personally hate those drinks but they work for some people"

khpro replied: "there is a drug... don't do it. Plenty of sleep ahead of time. Get up every 30 min. and do one minute of vigourous exercise outside in the fresh air then resume. Don't try to skip and do an hour block. Best idea yet, find out how to develop better time management skills."

lizardgirl12368 replied: "try having sugary things that don't have caffeine, jog in place for like five minutes when you feel yourself getting tired, try and keep lots of lights on around you, idk, um, open your windows if it's cold outside to make your room chilly (like they do in movie theaters to keep people awake), uh, that's all i can think of at the moment"

go UCLA bruins! replied: "Maybe it's like in that foam bed commercial, maybe it's your not using a comfortable enough mattress."

Shorty replied: "Excersize aka go run around the block...or drink an energy drink! or u can take some pills called yellow jackets or any other metabolism source"

ovov replied: "Try bawls"

CosmosClara replied: "Cold drinks. Take naps when you can (so you're not sleep-deprived). If you feel yourself getting drowsy, get up and walk a little - and/or do a few jumping jacks."

saharris1mil replied: "I'm the same way. I used to drink hot herb teas while doing late night studying. Whatever flavors you like, (except for the relaxing ones of course, such as tension tamers). It works."

nikkim8203 replied: "jumping jacks usually get me up and going . though not recommended for the morning or right after eating. seriously try it works."

Maddie replied: "I have recently discovered that apples are better for waking up than caffeine. Try it out and if it doesn't work for you, then the only other option I can think of is ice-cold water."

Fl!p$t@ replied: "Look for an energy drink that keeps you awake..Ive seen many in stores...My uncle had 1 and it was a powder mix u put into water..kinda like iced tea mix..he said it tastes good like mountain dew and doesnt have caffine..it keeps you awake for a while...another way(the method i use) is gargling very strong listerine and splashing is cold water into ur face..thats what i do tho...hehe"

staceylynne replied: "don't pressure yourself by studying too much. you should rest in between and munch on some fruits like apples. also, i've read somewhere that if you'd get more sleep, you'll remember what you've studied last night better."

Illuminate Me replied: "I needed a lot of studying in college too and taking short walks in the house or in the study area where you are sure its safe, helps. Sometimes dancing/exercising or talking to someone- topics of great interest of course, while taking a break is stimulating."

sam4756 replied: "well if your desperate, you could drink a bunch of water and then dont go to the restroom for a while. the feeling of having to urinate keeps your mind from going to sleep. its a desperate thing and it may be kinda hard to do but believe me, it works..."

jaganbcw replied: "u can sit at a colder place it will keep u from sleeping"

helencartermk replied: "Eat real protein. Drink ICE cold water. Stay away from carbs and sweets."

Huny4U replied: "But my friend, the idea of studying is to be aware and cleared minded, how can you gain what you've studied when your eyes is open and your mind is closed, you better get good sleep to gain your effort"

jessr322 replied: "I totally understand where you're coming from! I'm a college student too and sometimes the only time I can get homework done is late at night when it's quiet! But then I get so tired. Anyway, I don't have a lot of suggestions. One thing I've tried that has worked before is I get a big bag of sunflower seeds and keep my mouth busy cracking the shells. It helps 'cuz it keeps me alert. That way I'm not just sitting still doing nothing but reading, etc. Besides caffeine, I don't know what else works. Usually I just try to stay awake on my own, but I know...it's hard!!! Oh, by the way, DO NOT eat chocolate!!! I've tried eating chocolate late at night while studying. For a little while after I ate it I perked up and was ok, but after a while, the little candy "high" wore off, and I was worse than before I ate it! I felt drowsy and just 'bleh.' And plus, candy isn't that good to use as a stimulant, 'cuz it's not good to eat a lot of sugar late at night. (although I have been guilty of this ;))"

aleng (^^)v replied: "listen to ur fav musics/songs. it helps. i think"

pennypincher replied: "For me a drink with red food color will keep me awake, like a cherry or strawberry soda."

Is there any kind of pill that's has caffeine effects without the after affect? I'm kinda addicted to caffeine cause I kinda need it. I'm always tired. I usually wake up at 6:48 and get ready for bus. Then school ends at 3:05 and i take the bus back. I hate the bus so much!! I always feel kinda dead after school. I feel like I need more energy or something, the other students don't seem as tired as me. Is there such a pill that gives energy but doesn't have the bad effects of caffeine? Or any bad effects at all? Anything close?

FaZizzle replied: "No such pill or drink exists. For every high there has to be a low. Sorry, but them's the breaks sometimes."

Adlai44 replied: "try taking a b-complex vitamin. You might be feeling tired due to a B deficiency."

Justin Bailey replied: "Try "5 hour energy drink" at GNC and truck stops . fives you approx 5 hours of energy with NO crash afterward"

turkeyphant replied: "You can try buying pure caffeine powder from somewhere like. It's much cheaper than coffee and because it's pure there are fewer side effects."

Which is safer for providing a quick source of energy, glucose or caffeine? I am an A Level student who suffers from tiredness during the school day. Which would the more effective thing to up my energy levels with, glucose or caffeine? Which would be safer for my health?

badgers replied: "Glucose. Caffeine strips the body of vitamins, and is the reason Tony Blair and others have had to go into hospital with heart problems. A good breakfast of porridge oats would be better than either of them though. And fresh fruit is the best energy snack in the world, especially grapes."

ewan123ewan replied: "Glucose every time. Caffeine is not a source of energy, its a drug that makes your heart beat faster so you feel lively temporarily."

a-and-a replied: "Glucose of course, caffeine gives you the impetus to get up and go but not the energy."

jenny w replied: "Glucose. Make sure you have a good breakfast. Lucozade is full of glucose."

mrs.tartan replied: "bananas are the best source of energy they release the energy slowly to keep you going through the day"

adclancer replied: "Glucose....caffeine is harmful to the heart...and is very addictive"

andypikeis replied: "Glucose mate. Sugars are the source of energy that our bodies use."

To college students: How do you juggle college and other aspects of life? To college students-- do u have a part time job? how many hrs does this occupy a week? how does this work with college? do you rely on caffeine a lot? lol

Nerdy replied: "I am a freshman in college and I work 2 jobs (approximately 30 hrs per week). I only work Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and all the other days of the week is dedicating them for studying! It is difficult to do well in school and also have a job but still I managed to get a 4.0 GPA my first semester in college. Two things I can tell you: It takes DEDICATION and SACRIFICING! All those sleepless nights I had to go through were painful but at the end it paid off. And about the caffeine, I stayed up probably 3 or 4 times this semester early in the morning (I mean 3 am) and studied. I used red-bull. Tell you what, not such a good idea as it makes you energized in the middle of the night and then the next morning you just crash and feel tired. I wish you good luck and stay healthy! :)"

O'neill replied: "first answer is great."

The_Magician replied: "I'm a college student. Really, college is about budgeting time. Usually I have my classes in the morning, which allows me to do my homework in the afternoon and hang out with my friends and do social stuff in the evening. I don't generally rely on caffeine a lot. I only have caffeine when I feel like I can't accomplish anything and I need to (such as studying for a test) or if I'm having a hard time waking up (which doesn't happen too much because I wake up between 8 and 8:30 usually). I have a part-time job, but I only actually spend 4 or 5 hours a week doing it."

Halley M replied: "Part time job depends on how much you really want to earn, like if your allowances or somewhat depends on it then the weekeends or so will typically be your working day. Just juggle your study and working time well, you'll manage. And what's with caffeine? Not really much into it, I mean coffee and stuff means books down for us lol good luck!"

How can I get to bed after I've had too much caffeine? I am a college student and I frequently find myself using caffeine to get through the school day after a long night of homework. It usually helps get me through classes, but the problem comes at night: now I'm too jittery from the caffeine to fall asleep, and the whole cycle starts all over again. Is there anything I can do to get the caffeine out of my system so that I can just lay down and go to bed like I want? Other than reducing caffeine intake during the day, of course.

lisab replied: "Try drinking some water to flush your system or grab a boring book and start reading. Instead of caffeine why not try a power bar or trail mix etc. Take a warm bath or shower to relax your muscles."

Cash replied: "Calcium and Magnesium supplements are considered nature's calming agents. There's another supplement I'm drawing a blank on that helps people get over jet lag by helping them sleep. You can't flush anything out of your system realistically but you counteract caffiene. Also, if not worried about weight, go for pasta, ice cream, the old warm or cold milk. A good hot meal to help release the chemicals responsible for relaxation. Don't watch TV or listen to upbeat music either. Personally I can't read after doing what you are because I get involved in the book and have the ability to stay up all night to finish it!"

chinavagabond94122 replied: "Try drinking hot milk and take a hot shower also try a short period of medditaition. Good luck! You might try stopping any coffe consunption 90 minutes before bedtime."

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can more easily wake up in the morning without using caffeine? I have trouble staying awake in the first period of my school day. I get as much sleep as I can for a highschool student, but I still have trouble staying awake during my school day. I would like not to use caffeine in order to wake me up such as coffee. Does anyone have some advise?

Wesley H replied: "Exercise! Go jogging"

Ashley F replied: "Take a cold shower, excerize, or splash some cold water on your face."

Liam S replied: "If you can maybe try and do some homework/study when you get up in the morning instead of at night so you can get to bed earlier and have more time to adjust in the morning. Early morning exercise is a very good idea if you have time. Make sure you get some sustained energy from your breakfast e.g. from fruit juice... sugar is good to wake you up but it's better to have food with a low glycemic index (GI) apparently."
