Since the evolution of examinations, students are known to compromise on their sleep to spare extra hours in exam preparation aiming to gain extra marks. However, did you know inadequate sleep can create brain fog that hampers your focus or concentration? There’s a consolidation process that happens when you sleep for good six to seven hours at a stretch. Several studies have proved that your memory and retention power are enhanced due to consolidated sleep. The quality of your sleep immensely impacts your performance the very next day. Thereby night owls aka students who prefer studying till late night, must ensure that they sleep on time maximum by 10pm a day before the examination. You may wake up an hour early, and brush up on formulae or key notes. Some students find difficulty in falling asleep during exams, which is primarily due to exam stress. Such students must pen down their thoughts and plan their exam preparation on paper to do a reality check in black and white and hence curb unnecessary worrying. Another proven method to get quality sleep is by having a bowl of oats for dinner or a cup of milk before calling it a day. Avoiding heavy meals is necessary in order to sleep easy. Also, students who feel restless at night, must avoid catching a nap during the day. Better still, students must follow a fixed sleep schedule in order to get adequate sleep while ensuring they utilize maximum hours from their 24 hours quota to excel in the examinations. All the Best!
