    Hare Krishna,
    I was also having this problem particularly am very lazy person
    but i suggest some points first thing you need to decide in any case i wont drink tea coffee (which is poison)
    What you can do that you should be councious at every moment and for that prasadam is most important
    so better you Buy the some dry fuits or like Elaichi, Lavang Etc. and offer it to Krishna and carry with them
    so whenever you studying and if you feel sleepy take one Elaichi and you will continue on studying
    just try out and see results youself

    there are so many things

    if you are feeling sleepy
    then here your favourite Hare krishna Kirtan just for 3-5 mins.
    so this way you can do study
    all these are my trials and experiences and i know these are not the best solutions but by the mercy of Krishna I like these ways
    HAre Krishna

    I have encountered that chanting rounds through tiredness is very helpful.

    Hare Krsna!

    You will be pleasantly surprised to know that (fresh) fruits like oranges, sweet lemon/grapefruit, grapes, apples, etc can keep you awake much better than tea. When I am driving and feel sleepy, I usually stop at a store for an orange. Store bought orange juice that is not fresh doesnt work for me. Try it out for yourself and let us know how it turned out.

      thank you Prabhu ji for your reply. as of yet, I never felt that ways after eating these fruits, may be for the reason I never had this perspective towards them I ll try it out for sure... also, can Herbal Tea be effective in that regard or is it just for taste sake?

        Herbal teas tend to make one sleepy. I think its the enzimes in the fruit that help to keep awake.
