if you have any essays written try highlighting just the  main parts i.e. the important bits of it and writing it out again with just these parts. or else try just taking one topic at a time and breaking it down into smaller bits. most importantly try and figure out what you can manage without learning . its always easier if you can just concentrate on 5 or 6 main topics as opposed to the whole course

You are probably better off studying a little less and getting some sleep.  Lack of sleep can cause lack of concentration, and your brain will not be working as well as it could.  Maybe you could spread your studying out...start a couple days earlier.

Monster and caffeine don't give you energy.  They spike up your blood pressure and heart rate, artificially keeping you awake.  However, you're not able to perform any better.  If anything, it's worse - you're too exhausted to concentrate but you can't sleep, ensuring you'll perform badly tomorrow.\n\nThe suggestions regarding vitamin B, etc are excellent, but in the end the only thing that will help are better study habits.  Eat balanced and healthy meals.  Get regular sleep.  You should have a regular bed time, and get no less than 7-8 hours of sleep a night.  When you study you should feel alert and strong.  Study without distractions - music, TV, cell phone, FOOD, etc.  And it's absolutely true that when you start to feel fatigued, getting a few minutes away to recharge is good; but you should go back to the same ideal study conditions - which should be your only study conditions - within 10 minutes.\n\nVery few people actually have the fortitude to follow through with these suggestions, but they're the ones getting As.

Work on it for an hour or 2, make sure you brainstorm your rough draft first, that way you have facts and things to write down. After the hour or 2 is up, take a 15 minute break as stated before and get a drink ro walk around your house or computer area.

I try staying awake to finish term papers a lot.  Keep the lights on so that you don't think of it as night time.  Too much caffine will make you hyper, but just enough will keep your brain stimulated enough to stay awake.  Try sleeping a lot the night before and take a nap that day so you aren't as tired at night.  Try to do all your research before hand so that all you need to do it put it all together.  Do your citations and stuff the next day.  A lot of people say power naps help, but for me if I were to lie down I would stay asleep all night.  Whatever works for you.

Probably becuase the class is boring. Try taking notes so that you will have to focus. And try getting more sleep and a good breakfast.

I know that it does require sleep and lots of it. Also try not to have a busy mind on something that has no relevance to the test. For example, don't stress about a fight you might have had the day before.

IM guessing your teacher is asking you to write an essay on this.  This isn't a free essay site.  You know that, right?\n\nI suggest you stop being so lazy and do your own homework.  If you have a QUESTION, then ask it.  "lateness and its effects?" isn't a question.

ofcourse man. sometimes the brain needs to relax in order to function at the maximum. that's why you do better at study after waking from nap or when you are studying at a soothing enviroment.

I like that you suggest a solution; that is the strongest part of your essay. In fact, I think you should lead with this idea and not spend time explaining the situation. Explain why the hours work with any existing statistical evidence that would indicate teenagers are more likely to get in an accident (passengers present) after 10:00 PM and why it is okay to extend that on a weekend. \n\nEven if you don't rewrite, be sure to have someone edit your essay for correct punctuation and grammar. I saw several mistakes that are easily fixed. Excellent attention to detail will make your essay stand out. \n\nBest of luck in your law class!

Each time your mind wanders, make a tally in the appropriate section. Keep a card for each day. As your skills build, you will see the number of tallies decrease.\n\nMaximize your energy level\n\nWhen is your energy level at its highest? When are your low energy times? Study your most\ndifficult courses at your high-energy times. Sharpest early in the evening? Study your most difficult course then. Later in the evening? Work on your easier courses or the ones you enjoy the most. Most students put off the tough studies until later in the evening when they become tired, and it is more difficult to concentrate. Reverse that. Study hard subjects at peak energy times; easier ones later. This alone can help to improve your concentration.\n\nVisualize\n\nAs an exercise before you begin studying; think of those times when concentration is not a problem for you--no matter what situation. Now try to feel or imagine yourself in that situation. Recapture that experience immediately before your studies by placing yourself in those moments. Repeat before each study session.\n\nHow to Improve Your Concentration\n\nLearning to concentrate on reading and studying requires some practice. Concentration doesn't just happen as soon as you sit down to do some serious studying. You already know the requirements for your individual study environment. Now all you need is concentration!\n\nRead "How To Improve Your Concentration" to find some techniques to develop your concentration level for peak performance during your study time. After reading the article, you should be able to:\n\nIdentify four common concentration problems;\n\nExplain five techniques for action to reach the goal of peak concentration;\n\nApply three strategies to combat annoyance during study periods.\n\nHow To Improve Your Concentration\n\nStudents can improve study concentration and study ability by paying attention to the conditions of their study environment. On the other hand, concentration will be limited if study habits are not effective.\n\nYour ability to concentrate on a particular lesson depends on (1) how interested you are and (2) how effective your study methods are. Your interest in one assignment will be different from your interest in others; your interest level may even change during that lesson. Because of the difficulties of your motivation while you do your homework, here is the key to effective study: Depending on your interest level at a particular time of study, adapt your study techniques to strengthen your concentration when it is weak.\n\nWhat are the common reasons students lack interest or lose interest during study time?\n\nCommon Concentration Problems\n\nDuring a period of study, there are four times you may have problems with concentration. These are common times which challenge most of the students and you will often have to strengthen your concentration when they happen.\n\nWhen you are "warming up" to study, distractions will interrupt your attention.\n\nWhen you have been concentrating hard on your studying, you may suddenly become annoyed with the assignment.\n\nAfter a long stretch of continuous studying, you gradually become tired and your study results decrease.\n\nWhen you have come to the point of "diminishing returns" and you are losing mental effectiveness, exhaustion takes over.\n\nWhat do you think the student can do to improve concentration in these four examples? Here is an illustration that represents a student's ups and downs of concentration during a study period of over 2 1/2 hours.\n\nWarm-Up: Student should spend time in conditioning one’s own mind for studying.\n\nAnnoyance: After 35 minutes of intense concentration, the student's attention starts to weaken. Break time! Two 5-10 minutes breaks helps to get the concentration level back up.\n\nDiminishing Returns: The third time the student was annoyed by studying, but it was not possible to reach the same peak level of concentration.

anxiety dude - the in between time was too short for the blood to rush back - 20mins in between is a good one - that's if you don't fall asleep

I know the feeling. YA has begun to take full control of my freetime.\n\nAnd I know what you mean about being distracted by whatever is NOT your homework. Here's a constructive tip: Try to get some of the assignment done, and then go ahead and take a mental break (YA anyone?), and then get back and finish your homework. That's the way I used to do it... only there was no YA back then. ;)

Jot some things down tonight in outline form and see how they fit together.  Make sure you have a good beginning sentence, one that will grab attention.  The beginning paragraph in many ways isthe most important one.\n\nUse sentences of lots of different lengths and types, but not rambling sentences.  Instead of beginning all your sentences with the subject and following with the predicate, which quickly becomes boring, use a periodic structure (as it is done in this sentence). With the periodic sentence, items of a lesser nature precede the heart of the sentence.\n\n"On December 1, 1955 in Montgomery African Americans decided to boycott the city buses until they could sit anywhere they wanted, instead of being forced to the back when a white person came aboard." - Possible beginning sentence\n\nGood luck with your essay.
