Although a fever can be a nasty experience, not everybody hates it. This is especially true of some
students, who may have loads of homework or want to avoid school the next morning.
Below are some common ways by which your temperature can be increased:
- Spend the whole day overworking your body, by playing football or doing some other strenuous exercise.
- Get home all sweaty, and drink many cups of hot tea, whilst taking less water. This will increase your body temperature more.
- Take a bath in hot water and try to keep the bathroom as steamy as possible.
- After your bath, drink more hot tea and do not switch on your air conditioner - instead you may even want to turn the heater on.
- Stay up late at night watching television.
- During the time you are awake, keep drinking more tea or you may substitute strong, hot coffee, so as to stay awake.
- As you are awake in your living room, make sure that you have something warm on, put on a sweater or jersey that will keep you boiling on the inside.
- Finally, you can go to bed at roughly 3am in the morning and this time instead of one blanket, have 5 of them.
Note that when doing this, you may land yourself in more trouble than you might be in with a bully at school who you're trying to avoid, for example. Maybe it would be a good idea to speak to someone about why you want to miss school, if that's what you're trying to achieve? They might be able to help you.
