Think rest and fuel. Exams are coming up; students are very stressed and are cutting back on sleep in order to study for exams. This can result in sleeping late and missing meals. Meals can actually help you concentrate during your studying and exams. Here are a few tips. Eat breakfast and lunch! A good breakfast before an exam is an egg, toast or English muffin with fruit or juice. A second option would be peanut butter on toast with fruit. A good lunch would be a turkey, ham, roast beef, or cheese sandwich on wheat bread, fruit, and a glass of milk. Another option would be a peanut butter sandwich, fruit, and glass of milk. These meals provide carbohydrate and protein to help you focus and concentrate on your exams. Coffee or an energy drink can help you focus, but too much caffeine can make you anxious and jumpy. It can also interfere with your sleep if you take it late in the day.
