Techamlan: How to study effectively without feeling sleepy....

3 easy steps to improve your concentration power on studies....

Feeling sleepy is an ailment that plagues many people regardless of circumstances. Chronic lethargy and an inability to focus can make everyday activities time-consuming and difficult to enjoy. Rather than suffering with your feelings of drowsiness during the day, take action to improve your mental clarity and concentration.......

step 1:drink water as much as you can...

Your brain strongly influenced by hydration status.Studies show that even mild dehydration (1-3% of body weight) can impair many aspects of brain function.

In a study of young women, fluid loss of 1.36% after exercise impaired both mood and concentration, and increased the frequency of headaches Trusted Source

Another similar study, this time in young men, showed that fluid loss of 1.59% was detrimental to working memory and increased feelings of anxiety and fatigue Trusted Source

A 1-3% fluid loss equals about 1.5-4.5 lbs (0.5-2 kg) of body weight loss for a 150 lbs (68 kg) person. This can easily occur through normal daily activities, let alone during exercise or high heat.

Many other studies, ranging from children to the elderly, have shown that mild dehydration can impair mood, memory and brain performance.

step 2:switch off your gadgets or banish your mobile from the study room..

Sixty-one percent of respondents said they cannot ignore their devices and check them within an hour of receiving an email, text, or alert -- and 81 percent of those surveyed interrupt conversations, meals, all kinds of fun things, to do it.

Rather than let digital inertia take over, make a plan: to go out, to see people, to get food, meet someone for a walk. It does require an extra effort to put yourself in front of other people, even the ones you live with -- but the rewards you'll reap from that company will outweigh anything you'll find on Facebook. If you’re feeling very adventurous, try this: leave your device at home for a day. Remind yourself what life feels like when you don’t connect and we can study without being distracted...

step 3:exercise or walk for a while can improve your brain power and concentration....

As we age, our brain volume decreases. However, a review of controlled studies found that people who underwent an exercise program like walking, running or cycling had modest increases in hippocampus volume (the part of the brain involved in emotions) compared to those who didn’t exercise.

Being more physically fit is also associated with more neuronal fibre integrity in the brain, which in turn is associated with higher brain function.

Finally, exercise appears to improve memory and cognition. In one study, for example, a six-month program of physical activity for adults with memory impairment provided a modest improvement in their cognition over an 18-month follow-up period.
