[Info] Stay Awake When You’re Tired with a Little Acupressure (and Other Techniques)

Keeping yourself awake after a bad night of sleep or after a long day at work can be tough. Instead of resorting to excessive amounts of caffeine, illustrator and blogger Yumi Sakugawa has put together an infographic with a bunch of clever ways to keep yourself awake including a few handy acupressure techniques.

Three simple acupressure techniques can give you a wakeful boost and they're not hard to do. They include pulling down on your earlobes, rubbing the back of your hand between your thumb and index finger, and pressing against the back of your knee. The infographic also covers general tips like getting a little exercice, eating the right foods, and a few weirder tips like sniffing peppermint oil. If you're suffering from a serious case of the Monday's this morning these tips might just get you up and awake. Hit up Yumi's blog for the full post and infographic.
