The Sleep Sandwich
Imagine you have an important presentation and only one day to prepare how do you learn a lot of information in the least amount of time. Most people try cramming they study their notes or review their lines for hours, they'll pull an all-nighter if they have to but despite all of their hard work they end up forgetting about 50% of the stuff they wanted to remember. Most of the content they crammed into their head never sees the light of day why is that because it never finds a place in their long-term memory. You can expose your brain to countless new stimuli but it only retains a small percentage of them because you need time to store information in your memory. That's the problem with late-night cram sessions you aren't giving your brain the chance to encode all the stuff that you need to remember that's the number one reason why scientists recommended the sleep sandwich instead of one long study session you should study sleep and then study some more the sleep sandwich is an excellent way to learn faster because sleep helps you retain more information storing memories. One of the most important functions of a good night's sleep, while your conscious goes to bed unconscious is actively storing all kinds of stuff in your long-term memory but when you pull an all-nighter you’re preventing your brain from actual learning and retaining those memories not to mention you're hurting your brains overall performance tiredness leaves your brain feeling foggy slow and unproductive. So come on don't bother studying until 4:00 in the morning if you need to squeeze in some last-minute learning study for a few hours get good night's sleep and then pick up where you left off in the morning.
“Think in the Morning, Sleep in the Night”
Weaving Subjects
In 2008 a group of researchers discovered something counterintuitive about learning. You’ll learn something faster by studying something else, in this study researchers ask people to identify certain artists based on six of paintings half of the participants saw each painting and blocks while the other half saw their paintings all scramble together who do you think retained more information the scrambled group performed significantly better . Why is that well because interweaving different styles and subjects help solidify new information in your memory.

Always have a comfort zone whenever you study!
Have this in your mind:
· Study in a quiet room where you can easily pay attention to.
· Turn the television off while you are studying.
· Eat a healthy snack before studying.
· Clear the space around you so that you have a cleaned, organized area to work.
