Proven methods for studying for extended periods.

1. Studying in Natural Daylight or Bright Light

Natural or bright white light keeps the brain alert and regulates circadian rhythm, reducing drowsiness during long study sessions.

2. Active Recall And Spaced Repetition

After reading a topic or a few pages, remember what you read till then or revisit the topic at spaced intervals to improve long-term memory.

3. Background Noise or Lo-Fi Music

Research suggests white noise can help reduce distractions and enhance mood.

4. Alternate Between Subjects (Interleaving)

Switching between related topics keeps the mind fresh and strengthens problem-solving ability.

5. Feynman Technique

Explaining the concept to someone else, whether real or imaginary, strengthens understanding.

I have this habit of writing things in my own handwriting and then studying. Doesn’t matter if my exam is in few hours or few days. I’ll have to make proper notes in my own handwriting and that helps me retain better and stay focused to study for longer hours.

Such methods are really helpful.
