subject: Relax Your Nerves - Take A Break From Studies [print this page] Whether you are in school or college, whether you are an online learner or offline learner, I am sure you must be studying too hard to do well in your studies. Its a good sign. You must study hard. After all it is a matter of your future, which rests only in your hands. But do you know that excessive study in one go might wash away all your hard work. It might give you hypertension and several other similar diseases. Are you aware of the importance of study breaks or do you still think that they are not required or they are not really of big concern? If yes, you better have a look at this article.
Whether you are pursuing an A level course or you are pursuing further education training, you need to study a lot to outshine your peers. If you study for long-long hours without a break, you are more susceptible to nervous breakdown, hypertension and anxiety. Accept the fact that we are humans and we are prone to fatigue after some time. Take breaks after regular intervals. These breaks would not just refresh you but will also help you in memorizing the subject matter in an organized way. These breaks would rejuvenate you and then gives you tremendous strength to study yet again with fresh mind. This way you would learn better than long continuous study hours without breaks.
Taking breaks after regular time period doesnt mean that you can take breaks after every 5-10 minutes. Make sure that you dont take breaks too often. It is considered as healthy to take a break of 10 minutes after every hour. Taking breaks too often would rather make your study time as a break time, which is not really a good idea to study.
What to do while taking a break? This is a very crucial question. Students often watch television or play over computers while taking study breaks. I would strongly recommend you to NOT to do so. Do something that refreshes you. Take a brisk walk in the lawn, take a small nap, drink juice and eat snacks, play outside for small time duration. This would refresh not just you but your mind too. If you watch TV or play over computers, you might feel good but not refreshed. It rather stresses your brain.
Especially those who pursue online training courses, move outside the virtual world during the break. Online students often tend to surf internet and spend long time over social networking websites in order to take brake. It is not at all refreshing, not a good way to take break, believe me.
While taking study breaks you must be disciplined. Self discipline is what is expected out of you. You must not exceed the time limit assigned for break. Dont stick to the refreshment for so long that you forget about your studies totally. You must be back to your table as soon as the break is over. Similarly dont even postpone your breaks thinking that you can take it later. Continuous study in a stretch might lead you towards some serious consequences.
