I have quite a few exams coming up and it's really affecting my performance. I'm not really feeling particularly hot, but just very tired for some reason and exhausted almost, I'm also feeling very sluggish and slow, what can I do to counteract this? It's really worrying me because I'm worried it will affect my exams being like this, I can't even think properly... Any advice would be great... :)

Hi, Make sure you get plenty of sleep. Eating properly, doing some exercise and treating yourself after you've done revision etc., always helps. Also make sure you have enough fresh air in the room you're revising in. Good Luck.

Can't believe it's been 10 months since I asked this question. Right now I'm doing all of these things and it does really help!

I am finding the same problem that I am tired in this hot weather. I drink coffee to wake me up. I also find that walking round and doing something wakes me up, but if I sit down for too long, I feel more tired. You can run cold tap water over your wrists, as that is supposed to cool down your blood. You can also buy facial spritzers or cooling sprays to spray onto your face. If you get chance, you could try having a short nap to reinvigorate yourself for the rest of the day too. Good Luck!

Yes! I do this as well, I run cold water over my wrists and I thought I was the only person who did this! It's been so sunny all week over here which is good, and not complaining but I do get sleepy in the afternoons!

I think you just need more hydration/water, since a hot weather causes hydration. According to you signs(the feeling of being tire and slow) are two of the signs of hydration. Just drink enough, if not, more water everyday.

Have you been drinking water? I would recommend staying hydrated. Also make sure you get enough sleep. If you feel yourself getting tired take a mini break and get some fresh air. Good Luck!

The situation what you describe is just the same as many people.In hot weather,we will feel very tired,because we lost much water of our body.So we should enough water to our body.You should calm down and have a good day in hot weather.
