It's highly recommended that you avoid heavy meals with high sugar high fat and try to eat very healthy regarding the number of meals and how the meals fit within your marketing essay writing service schedule i used to have breakfast in the morning after two or three hours of studying so i used to take around 20 minutes to have breakfast and i also use that time to watch tv or talk to family sit with friends for lunch i also used to have lunch during one of the breaks between the blocks of studying and also watch a movie watch tv dinner you can either go out somewhere and have dinner or eat home but you can use that time.

The food time to socialize with people or have fun and watch tv regarding exercise i believe that it's very important to exercise and stay healthy when you're studying for exams something that if you're studying for 12 hours a day you're not doing anything other than studying and i think that's misunderstanding you have to exercise to stay healthy change the environment change the mood and stay refreshed and also have something to look for if exercise is something you enjoy it would be something to look for when you're studying some students like to exercise in the morning so maybe run for 10 15 minutes in the morning some prefer to do that at the end of the day i'm one of those people who feel tired after running so i won't be able to focus 100 on studying after i run so that's why i prefer to do that at the end of the day or maybe in the middle of the day some don't feel that so they can do that in the beginning of the day and it would be a good way for them to start the day.

So they go for a run take a shower and then they start studying one advice when you're exercising don't do very very heavy exercise because that might make you feel tired and you won't be able to focus 100 on your studying afterwards personally i always prefer cardio overweight when i'm studying for long hours because i feel that weight would drain me physically more than cardio and i usually work out for around 10 to 15 minutes of running every day or every other day when i'm studying for exams another misunderstanding is that you have to give up your social life if you're studying for 12 hours a day i always kept close to my family my friends when i was studying for 12 hours a day or studying for exams the trick though in my opinion is to limit the number of hours you spend it with your friends or family so instead of going out for four or five hours you would go out for hour hour and a half so this would be enough time for you to change the mood change the environment and then come back to studying however that requires a very strong will because if you're having fun and enjoying your time after an hour hour and a half you might say to yourself okay let me stay for two more hours or three more hours so the trick is not in going out or not going out the hard part is to come back to studying after an hour hour and a half rather than spending three or four hours hanging out one tip that worked for me that i used to motivate myself by saying if i come back home now and continue studying i would be able to go out tomorrow or after tomorrow.

If i stay for three or four more hours i won't be able to hang out for the rest of the week so try to motivate yourself create a system in which you'll be able to come back and study and you would be able to use that time to hang out more for the rest of the week and now going to our final point which is sleep in my opinion sleep is an extremely important part of you being able to study 12 hours a day consistently you can definitely not sleep for one or two days and study 24 hours a day but after two or three days you would burn out and not be able to do that consistently so the trick of being able to study 12 hours a day consistently for longer time periods is good sleep and studies have shown that sleep is extremely important for retaining information so if you're looking to keep this information in your mind after you study it you have to have good sleep studies have shown that students who were sleep deprived were not able to retain the information as much as those who slept well for me personally i never set up an alarm when studying unless i have to wake up a specific time period for a meeting or going to school but when i'm studying i don't have to wake up at specific time period i don't set up an alarm i let my body decide when is a good time to wake up i know for some students that is not the ideal case because they might sleep for 12 hours or 13 hours so in this case you might need an alarm but if you would sleep around seven to eight hours let your body decide when is a good time to wake up and now i want to give you some tips for good sleep.

The first of which is to keep a consistent sleeping schedule so don't sleep one day at 10 pm the next day at 3am and the third day at 11 pm try to stay within one hour of your sleeping time and also the same for waking up time another tip is to avoid caffeine alcohol or heavy meals before you sleep keep your room cold dark try to use your room only for sleep so your mind knows that when you go to bed this is for sleeping and when you're studying somewhere else this is for studying and personally i don't prefer to use sleeping aids unless needed try to use something like melatonin avoid the heavy sleeping aids because that might make you feel sleepy the next day i want to finish by saying that studying 12 hours a day is not easy it does not happen overnight a runner cannot jump from running one kilometer a day to five or ten kilometers the next day the same for studying you might start with five hours a day then go up to six seven try to increase it around 20 minutes to half an hour every week and then increase it the next week and then assess how it's going if you feel tired exhausted maybe go back to the next stage stay there for around three weeks and then increase it by 20 minutes or 30 minutes and then assess how it's going until you reach the 12 hours a day i don't recommend jumping directly from 5 hours or 6 hours to 12 hours because that will probably lead to burnout and you won't be able to focus for these long hours here were the tips that helped me stay focused and be able to study 12 hours a day consistently for several weeks without burning out if you have any tips or advice that i missed that can help medical students study for longer time periods consistently please drop them in the comments below and feel free to reach out to me on instagram or twitter at malc assad or my facebook page malcasa md if you have any interest in learning about research make sure to check out my research course and my statistics course which will take you from the level of idea literature review building your variable list manuscript writing and then submitting and publishing your paper if you find any value in this video make sure to hit the like button and subscribe to the channel and hit the bell sign so you get notified whenever i post future videos on my youtube channel thank you everyone so much for watching and see in future videos peace you.
