Health Habit of the Week: Get in the midterm mindset
Q. Help me stay focused while
studying this term!
A. Here are a few tips to help your studying:
- During studying sessions it is critical to have physical activity breaks (15 to 30 minutes). These brief periods of exercise will help increase alertness and help you remember.
- Replace sugary, high-calorie snacks with healthy alternatives; you will feel more energized.
- We know it is hard but getting seven to nine hours of sleep each night also plays a critical role in keeping you feeling awake, alert and prepared for school.
- Stay hydrated, sip on green tea or water for energy. Drinking caffeine can cause a crash, make you jittery and increase the feeling of stress.
