study breaks

<p>I have been studying math for about 8 hours today, with a few breaks in between. I like to get a lot done, and I’m motivated, so it’s not something I don’t want to do. Except, it does take brain power, and I run out after a while.</p>

<p>My problem is: I don’t know how to take efficient study breaks. Everyone says get a drink of water, eat a healthy snack, lay down for a second, go for a walk, do a few exercises, have some coffee, watch a little TV… none of that helps me. I’m still just as tired and wasted from studying all day.</p>

<p>Today I’ve tried: Starbucks Doubleshot (130 mg of caff., which is 3 times the amount in a diet coke… <a href=“Caffeine Informer”>Caffeine Informer; ), about 5 2 minute stretching breaks, about 4 30 minute internet breaks, ~2 cups of trail mix, 1 slice of pizza, 2 Emergen-C energy/vitamin/refreshing packets, a shower…</p>

<p>I do NEED to do this (I have 7 math chapters to review, US Hist 1 chapter review, 3 Spanish chapters to review, and possibly 2 chapters of Chem… or maybe not). What do you reccomend?</p>

<p>note: i take study breaks about every 1 hour and eat/drink while i’m studying</p>

<p>cmonnnnnnn?</p>

<p>it’s 9:00 here. I’m surring out of time to study… PLEASE? ANYTHING?</p>
