[nabs] Staying attentive in night or long classes

[ACBS President]

All good ideas. I'm a big coffee drinker, but my longer classes are
generally 5:30-8:30pm or later, so that's not always the best time to drink
caffeine. I try to avoid it that late. But I like the gum and water ideas.
And yes, I take a lot of notes, so that helps. Thanks for the suggestions!
