Have you every studied for too long and it caused your brain to feel exhausted? Maybe you need to take a brain break next time! Studying for a long period of time without resting can cause you to lose your focus. Spending a lot of time studying causes some people to block out information and it becomes a waste of time. A brain that is rejuvenated will focus more and absorb information more efficiently.
Taking small breaks in between studying will allow your brain to unwind for a little. Scientist say the most efficient way to study is by spreading it out over periods of time. Studying for an extremely long amount of time does not help you learn as efficiently. Spreading it out over time is known as distributed studying. This article is a study comparing cramming material into one study period to distributed studying.
I've always been one of the people that cram a bunch of material into one study session, which is bad. This method always caused me to forget some of the material I studied. Now it seems completely different because my lit teacher gives us brain breaks. They usually wake me up, since my class is early in the morning! It has been extremely helpful and it helps with keeping the information I'm learning in my head!
