Though you may be tempted to sleep for just five more minutes in the morning for some extra sleep, hitting the “snooze” button on your alarm will in fact make you more tired. When you hit snooze, your brain goes even deeper into your sleep cycle. By the time you hit “snooze” several more times, and finally wake up, you will feel groggy and even more tired than if you got up with your alarm. If possible, get an alarm without a snooze button. Or disable the snooze option on your existing alarm. Stretch and get up, open the curtains of your room and let the morning light in. Treat the morning like a positive experience and commit to looking forward to your day. You may also start a routine of getting dressed and eating breakfast within a certain time. As you get ready, plan out your schedule and your tasks or commitments for the day. If you stick to a consistent sleep schedule and maintaining a regular sleeping pattern, you likely will be able to get up on your own at an earlier time, without an alarm. Going to bed at the same time every night and waking up at the same time every night will program your body to get used to a regular sleep schedule. Over time, your body will act as its own alarm clock, and you should be able to wake up on your own at the same time, every day.

Summary: Avoid hitting the snooze button on your alarm. Make your morning routine positive and consistent. Try waking up without your alarm.


Some librarian positions in public libraries require only an associate's or bachelor's degree. These types of positions are often for teen and children's librarians. Almost all intermediate and advanced level library jobs require a Master's in Library Science (MLIS). These professional librarians have more advanced duties, such as overseeing the assistants or updating the library's collections. Librarians fill many roles, including reference librarian, corporate librarian, cataloguer, library manager, collections manager (deciding which books are added and removed), children's librarian, teen librarian, school librarian (K-12), academic librarian, systems librarian (involves IT work), or running the circulation desk. Research the roles that sound interesting to you, and focus your education towards these positions. Many library science programs also offer a specialization in archives. Archivists handle historic texts, preserving them physically and granting access to them for research. Many academic librarians also hold an additional master's degree in a specific subject. If you're passionate about an academic subject, such as art, law, music, business, or psychology, this path can combine it with your interest in libraries. Special libraries are usually private, company libraries that hold collections centered on legal, business, medical, or government resources. Most librarian positions in special libraries require a minimum of a master's degree in library science. A librarian may also need to have degrees or experience in the special library's specific subject area. Examples of subjects include law, business, science, and government.

Summary: Look for jobs that require a college degree. Study for a Master's in Library Science. Specialize. Train for an academic library. Consider working in a special library.


Even if you’re feeling really sleepy, try to look like you’re listening to the teacher at the start of class. Take out a pencil and paper and take a few notes. Make eye contact with the teacher and try to answer a question or two.  This will give the teacher will have the impression that you are paying attention through the whole class, even when you’re asleep. Don’t call too much attention to yourself or it will seem really obvious when you stop responding. At the beginning of class, tell your neighbors that you’re really tired and might try to take a quick nap. Ask them if they wouldn’t mind waking you up if something important is about to happen.  You could say, for example, “Hey Alex, I was up super late last night and I’m exhausted. If I fall asleep, will you wake me up if we start the lab or do partner work?” This is best if you are friends or at least acquaintances with the person next to you. If you don’t like each other, you probably can’t rely on them to wake you up, and they might even report you to the teacher. Don’t get into such a deep sleep that you won’t wake up when it’s time to change classes or go to lunch! Try to just relax and drift off without allowing yourself to go all the way into a deep sleep. Train yourself to sleep lightly by forcing yourself to open your eyes every few minutes or asking your friend to tap you on the shoulder once in awhile. You might sleep better if you can tune out the noise of your classroom with music, but wearing earplugs or earbuds in class is a big warning sign to your teacher. It might also make it harder to hear the bell ring or the teacher’s voice if they call on you.

Summary: Pay attention at the beginning of class. Ask the person next to you to wake you up if necessary. Make sure you can wake up when the bell rings. Avoid wearing earplugs or earbuds.
