Answer 1

1) Get yourself physically comfortable.  If you're reading, get a comfy easy chair (or recliner) and have a light shining on your book over your left shoulder.

2)  Use colored sunglasses occasionally to change the shade of the pages you're reading--helps with eyestrain and provides a "Hawthorne effect".

3)  Schedule your study sessions like this: set timer for 45 minutes.  Take a few minutes at first to preview what you're going to study.  Then study it.  When the timer goes off, take a few minutes to review what you studied.  Then take 10 minutes to break; get a beverage, wash face, put on loud music, dance, play exciting video game, whatever to break the routine.  Then do another cycle, setting timer for 45 minutes, etc.

4)  Do a mental calculus; does the need to sleep supercede the need to study at some point?  If you're at 100% and you only completed 80% of the material, you can still perform better than if you're at 90% and you completed 85% of the material.

I've found that regular (not diet or caffeine free) allways does the trick for me. Each 24 oz. bottle has 300 calories Plus 76mg. of caffeine.
