Starting school early in the morning can be quite a challenge, especially for those who are not morning people like me. I found that the struggle to stay awake in class without adequate sleep is very real. The early wake-up calls can make it hard to remain focused, especially when your body craves just a little more rest. Transportation adds another layer to this daily routine. I realized that sometimes it's worth paying a premium, like opting for a ride-hailing service instead of the usual student transport, just to grab those extra minutes of sleep. The willingness to spend more money for added comfort and rest highlights how important sleep is for maintaining energy throughout the day. When lunchtime rolls around, the school canteens can be overwhelmingly crowded, with long queues pushing students to settle for quick and simple snacks like sandwiches or chocolate chip cookies. I’ve learned to manage my expectations about meals during school hours and pack some snacks to keep energy levels up. Caffeine plays a tricky role in my routine. While it helps me stay alert, especially in the early hours or during long classes, I've struggled with anxiety issues triggered by caffeine. This makes it essential to find a balance — working on the store floor without caffeine is fine, but sitting in class without my eyes shutting feels impossible. One tip I've discovered is to moderate caffeine consumption and choose alternatives like POKKA milk tea in small amounts or sipping slowly to minimize anxiety effects. It’s also helpful to incorporate short naps or power breaks whenever possible to recharge. Adapting to early school timings is a gradual process, but finding these small hacks makes a significant difference in managing energy and staying productive throughout the day.
