Hi I m in college and have one more final to go. I didn t sleep for about 25 hours until finally got 3 hrs of sleep last night. Then I couldn t sleep untill about 10am this morning and slept until 2pm. Also while cramming for my exams I didn t eat much else than A few chicken nuggets and oatmeal. Right now my stomach is upset and I have a bad headache But I need to make sure I cover alot of material tonight and tomorrow up untill My exam which is at 8pm. What should I do as a temporary fix for today and tomorrow So that I can keep studying. (Going to try to sleep around 2am tonight)

Dear Rustam,
Hello! You are obviously stressed out cause of your exams. Please try to understand that 6-8 hours sleep is essential every night for registering all that you have learned into your brain. There is no quick fix to your sleep problem. Some tips you can follow is stop taking coffee, and don't try too hard to sleep. If you are not getting sleep, you should do some reading and wait until you again feel sleepy. A warm bath can help you feel sleepy. You can take paracetamol for your headache.
Hope I am able to solve your concerns.
