Avoid fast food and pastries.
This includes pizza, hamburgers,
nachos, doughnuts, muffins, cinnamon rolls, and croissants. These foods will
give you a short energy rush that quickly turns into sleepiness.
Wear comfortable clothing.
Little things
like having to pull up your
trousers can eat away at your concentration. Wear clothes that are familiar, fit
loosely, and don't constrict you.
If you have long hair, tie it back so that it doesn't fall into your eyes.
Put your cellphone on silent.
You do not want to be taking calls from
friends and family members when you're trying to study. Let them know in
advance that you need time to study, if you think they'll be concerned. Better
yet, just place it on silent and keep it somewhere out of view so you won't be
tempted to keep taking a sneak peek.
