I know this cant happen to me lol 'me wey i like sleep' i'll just put my head next to a pillow and still be reading and that'l be it, na tomorrow things. For a  Chinese, the story is different, she tired her hair to a celling fan to avoid the sleep. a few months ago i was chatting on skype with one naija guy that traveled to yankee for his masters, he told me that though  Chinese  people  are dirty kinda but they're the most  Briant people on earth. she's an obvious example, china taking the lead from U.S soon.
The story below

 A Chinese university student has found an interesting way of staying awake when pulling all-nighters and writing essays.

Chen Tang, 20, had struggled to fit her workload into the daylight hours and together with her roommate Huang Lu, 21, sought a solution to her problem.

The two students at the Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University in Fuzhou, in Fujian province, in southeast China, took inspiration from ‘historic scholars’ to fight the urge to nap.

Tried-and-tested ways of staying awake through the night include caffeine hits, cranking up the air-conditioning and push-up breaks, but Chen and Huang looked to the history books instead.

Chen remembered two famous Chinese scholars of legend who chose more painful methods to ensure their minds stayed alert.

One would stab himself with needles every time he started to fall asleep and the other would tie his hair to a beam in the ceiling so that it was pulled every time he started to nod off.

Huang, who posted the pictures of Chen said: ‘Chen is so keen to succeed that she decided to give the hair trick a try, as you can see her hair is more than long enough.

‘As we didn't have a beam in our dorm, she used the clothes dryer and claims it worked really well.’

According to Chen it helped to keep a clear mind and she plans to use it again to help focus.

‘The preparation is so boring, but the hanging hair practice makes it interesting and I really feel much more energetic by studying in this way.’ said Chen
