As with the approach of summer, exams are approaching. A terrible word for schoolchildren, graduates and students. Therefore, here are the top 5 tips of how to overcome laziness and successfully prepare for the exams.

If you feel that you need the help of medications, then be sure to consult a doctor.
- Of course, there is a great temptation to sit with a notebook all night, but science strongly inclines you to sleep. It is during sleep that the information received on the eve of the day is fixed. In experiments on rats, scientists have shown that during a slow sleep, the same groups of neurons are excited in the brain as during the training that the rats were doing the day before. That is, the aphorisms of Aristotle should be remembered, it is best to act like a rat – to go to bed early.

- What was on your table, you must sprinkle generously curry seasoning. It includes turmeric, which is praised by Brain Institute scientists of the Russian Science Academy (SPb). Curcuma, despite the name, strengthens memory and is a good prevention of Alzheimer’s.
- It turns out that you do not need to jump after the exam, but before. Even if you look a little defiant, slicing around the building running or cycling, science will be on your side. Just 30 minutes of cardio training can improve memory and reduce the impact of stress caused by the cheerful face of the examiner. Cardiovascular will please the brain with a whole cocktail of hormones, including serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine. It is a beautiful composition that has a beneficial effect on attention, perception, motivation and ability to learn.
- And the last thing, a day or two before the exam, it is needed to get acquainted with the procedure, rules, and the place of examination tests. Where will be no surprises – there will not be stress.
Of course, the importance of healthy eating and sleeping should not be forgotten.
