App Description
Stop Yawning! Get Some coffee! Says the teacher. But how do you stop yawning? This app helps eliminate a specific type of yawning - caused by a rapid change in light levels. The app stimulates wakefulness by influencing your brain's wake-to-sleep center with blue light.
WHY YAWNING?
Your brain interprets walking into a dim classroom as sudden onset of darkness and sends the signal to your classmates that now would be a good time for a nap.
HOW TO USE:
1)Set your device's brightness to maximum
2)Get a hall pass and play with app in the bathroom
3-OR- hide the phone and let it shine light on you in class
4)Notice that you stopped yawning!
5)Optionally - repeat once again in 20 minutes
WHY TEACHERS HATE YAWNING?
Most teachers take yawning personally, and think their subject is boring. This causes teachers to think you disrespect them. As a result, your grades get penalized and your opportunities for learning diminish. Few know that yawning in class can be simply a natural response of your body to a dimly lit environment.
TUITION IS EXPENSIVE!
While going to college, you are paying real money for the privilege of attending classes. If these classes are poorly equipped (we all have been in the tomb-like classrooms with no windows and fluorescent lighting), your brain starts seeking escape. You may start playing with your phone simply because it is the brightest, most colorful thing you can reach with your eyes. This app helps provide a visual outlet and vitalize your mind while you pay attention to your teacher.
GET BETTER GRADES!
We all know that teachers reward class participation and alert students participate more. Use the app before your most challenging classes to get an extra boost of alertness and energy
