Self-Care During Exams
College exams often bring long hours of studying, increased stress, and disruptions to your routine. Incorporating self-care is essential for both academic performance and for your mental health. Here are some tips to help you succeed.
- Prioritizing sleep, even during crunch time, will help improve your concentration, memory, and problem-solving abilities.
- Instead of cramming for hours on end, you may benefit from structured study sessions with short breaks to prevent mental fatigue.
- Try staying organized with a study schedule to reduce last-minute panic and chaos.
- Eat regular, balanced meals and drink plenty of water, trying to avoid unhealthy snacks and energy drinks. Healthier options provide longer-lasting fuel for your body and brain.
- Try a brisk walk or quick yoga session, to boost your mood and relieve a little stress.
