Instrumentals.\n\nCheck out Tosca, Caural, STS9, Quantic, Wax Tailor, DJ Logic, Scorn, etc.  It's great for studying and for creative work.

Well I think that you have to make sure that the material is interesting to you.  Even if it is not interesting you have to make yourself like.  Whenever I study, I find it easier if I am at a coffee house or some where like it.  The public always make it more interesting and you have a few things to distract you but then you can go right back to studying.  Also when I go to the library I take snacks, the sugar helps to keep me alert.  You can also listen to music when you are typing papers.  THis always helps me...Good Luck

deal with it one at a time, if you need a break, take it, but like 15 mins, not whole night, and then study again. Sometimes do some physical work like housework, clean up the floor or kitchen will help you relax too. (my method, not suitable for everyone) :p I don't like to listen music, because the songs I listen to will be in my head all the times that distract me so much. Deep breath, relax, exercise a bit, then 10 days later you will be feeling refresh again! Good luck!

Yes, it does.  Rock music helps me relax and it also has helped me study.  Concerts are the best; I come away filled with profound thoughts (and no, it's not all the weed being smoked).

Mozart is the most well-known and popular composer when it comes to that...\n\nBut I believe any piece of light classical music will help you to study. \n\n(When I mean light, I mean that the music is not dramatic, serious, profound, etc...)\n\nThe volume has to be loud enough so you can hear it clearly ("legibly" so to speak)...\n\nBecause what good would it do if the music is quiet enough to blend into the sounds of the environment?

:Yes. I play the piano by ear because try as I might, I just cannot read sheet music. I also play around with drums, guitar, horns, and the tambourine.

i have been playing for almost 20 years.  i think there is something very profound about playing an instrument, especially the piano.  i think classical is very underrated (something that should be observed live).  there is a passion that comes with the piano and playing several notes as once.  \n\ni think it also brings your experience as a person.  shows yourself how to have control and discipline and that hard work actually works.  the result is amazing knowing that you work on this piece and you made that sound come from your finger tips.  each note perfects by the way you touch, and how loud or soft it resonates from the piano itself... helps everywhere (even the bedroom) to have such an art!  did i get a little carried away there?

Classical music, as one answerer noted, is suppose to enhance your learning abilities.  I would try reading for a certain period of time, say a half hour, take a break, and then go back.  I would make the place I am studying less distracting, no loud music, be in a quiet place.  I have also taped notes to a small recorder and put them under my pillow when I was sleeping.  I have not gotten less than an "A" in any class I have taken and I think part of it is due to listening while I slept.

I listen to what I like

As a musician (although a lazy one) I prefer listening to classical or Romantic music on a regular basis. However, if I am cramming for a test I do best with no music on at all, especially if it's technical information. I found that out the hard way in chemistry in high school, where listening to mood music in the background proved a terrible distraction for about four of us in the class. We were directed back into the quiet lab to finish our assignment, and that worked out. I think the chemistry teacher was trying to find out if using mood music would help us concentrate better in class. I guess if you are into composing and analyzing music to any extent, it is better to keep music separate from most studying, as listening to music would not be a passive activity.

I totally do this very thing!  I guess turning down the music helps me to think more clearly - I can 'hear myself think'.
