I will award 50 Mana per small but useful high school life hack and 150 to 300 per life-changing life hack.
A high school life hack is an original/uncommon way of doing things related to high school, which is significantly useful in some way.
Things that I'd like to optimize are: sleep, low stress, happiness/satisfaction, high complexity/interestingness/new experiences, effective learning, good time management, good social interactions, free time (minimizing time spent doing school-related things), cheap/original/quick food solutions, feeling motivated and awake at school.
Optimize Sleep
How long should you sleep?
Sleep for 7–9 hours.
Sleep in intervals of 90.
Sleep without an alarm if possible.
Consistent sleep and wake time.
Sleep at the same time each night. (This informs your body when to release melatonin.)
Wake up at the same time each night. (This informs your body when to release cortisol.)
Light
Windows block sunlight.
Get sunlight when you wake up. (Small amounts of sunlight work. When sunlight enters your retinas, your body releases cortisol and decreases melatonin.)
Go outside an hour before the sun sets for 10–30 minutes. This will increase melatonin.
Avoid artificial light 1–2 hours before you sleep.
You’re more sensitive to overhead lights.
Exercise
Endorphins cause you to be more awake.
Morning exercise will cause you to be more awake due to an increase in endorphins, cortisol, and epinephrine. If you consistently do this your body will start expecting the morning exercise causing you to be more awake after waking up.
Exercising anytime during the day increases deep sleep.
Caffeine
Avoid caffeine intake 8–12 hours before you sleep.
Temperature
For your body to fall asleep, your temperature must drop 1–2 degrees.
Lowering your room's temperature before you sleep causes you to get higher quality sleep and sleep faster. Some ways you can do this are by using a fan, opening a window, or lowering the temperature of a thermostat.
