The situation is familiar to many. On the nose test or exam, and the knowledge in my head at least. How to solve the problem? Of course, completely depriving myself for the next day of sleep, drinking huge amounts of coffee or energy drinks, and to focus on the books and records. And then the test will pass fine.
However, health this method does not give anything useful. A study conducted by Texas a&M University, demonstrates that the lack of sleep and excessive stress of the brain negatively affects both the individual and his ability to assimilate and reproduce studied.
Short-term memory, for example, suffers from the forced Wake at night very much. The efficiency of the brain with each hour falls more and more.
The fact is that most people in order to demonstrate the maximum of their capabilities, need 7-8 hours of sleep every night. In case of lack of sleep tired as the brain and the body, and therefore the results will be relevant.
And a huge amount of information, which turn out to hold in the brain, to convey to the exam and answer a good rating, will disappear very quickly. With this method of memorization is used exclusively short-term memory. In order to remember something really, want to work long-term memory. And she can’t activated, when you are awake and remember during this time all that was necessary to teach during the semester.
So much better to prepare a little for 3-4 days before the exam, with exercises for 20-30 minutes several times a day. In this way you will be able not only to answer the questions of the teacher, but studied to keep in mind.
