I read an article somewhere on MSN where you can 'trick' your body into becoming well rested but is 'tricking' your body into being advisable? Are there ways where you can take a nap without it impede on your job? There are times where my brain is tired but I am wide after my eight hours of sleep and I need a nap. How useful are power naps? And how do you do them?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_nap The Mythbusters also did an episode on this, helped by two captains from Deadliest Catch. They simulated a work 'day' on a crab fishing boat (which can take up to 32 or so hours straight) first by staying awake all through the night and later by taking 20-minute power naps after 6 hours of work. The tests showed that staying awake made people sleepy, irritable and unfocused while taking power naps kept them focused and sharp, even though they hadn't had a proper sleep. Just lie down, set your alarm at 20 minutes or so (at the very least at less than 30 minutes) and close your eyes. Even if you can't really get much sleep, if any at all, it should work.

Are you on a meal plan? Do you cook? Play sports? Drink/ smoke pot? Get hungry late at night? Like eating while you study? Read before you go to sleep? Where are you going to college, specifically what country? What are the restrictions on what you're allowed to have in your dorms? Does your dorm have a student lounge or something where you can cook? Will you get a desk? Are you flying to college, taking a train, or driving? etc. etc. Elaborate a little A lot of the stuff you will be able to get for cheap once you go to college, and that's usually a good option. Here's what I got for myself in my dorm room in freshman year: -mini fridge -night lamp -clothes hangars -laundry basket -a couple of large plastic containers ( BIG ones you can fit clothes, electronics, canned food; these come in handy), though you can always use your suitcases - a couple of glasses - a mug - a couple of plates - a set of basic cutlery ( dont forget to get a little dish soap) - stuff like canned food, ramen, chips, etc. - trash can, trash bags - dust pan, and some sort of broom - a couple of sponges - fan - bed sheets, pillow covers - blanket - speakers - external hard disk(this one is important) - power extension/ multi-plugs - separate toiletries bag - toothbrush holder, if you have a sink - sports bag - bicycle - stock of pens, papers and other stationery - a LOT of under clothing ( can't stress this one enough) - bathroom slippers - water boiler ( or a microwave if you have a little more money) - coffee maker, if you don't like the instant stuff, and have a bit of cash - and a lot of other stuff, that if I remember I'll add later edit: |

^more specifically
- I can cook, but will definitely depend primarily on take out and some cup noodle. - I also frequently do late studying secession and reading book. - No smoking habit, no sport but I do exercise and there fitness machine there provided in the dorm. - I resides in New York City, most of my choice are either SUNY colleges or colleges from nearby state. So I'll primarily take train. - Most dorm has a lounge and also a kitchen provided in the room. - Restriction primarily will that I'll be living in a relatively small room sharing with a roommate. But some basic furniture like desk are provided from what I seem. - I hate noises(when studying or sleeping) and I'm a clean freak.

I know asked this before but when you ask them to hit and you make fun of them for not being able to do it to inspire them to it harder, what is it called? I know its mean but it is necessary to learn how to fight but still what is it called again?

After read the manga drifters and the issue with firearms I thought a little and well if someone knows ingredients for the gunpowder it's easy to make depending how available they are.
Now the issue is if you want modern firearm and not muskets you need to be able to make modern ammo. And that is bullet+case+gunpowder+primer. The primer parts seems to be bitch to make. So if someone wanted to make manually the today bullets they would be screwed at the primer?!
