Tip #4: Guard your health

Often when we are faced with a deadline, the solution seems to be to stay up ALL NIGHT to work. 

Research indicates that this is NOT the best plan!!! 

Sleep (and getting enough of it) is crucial to physical health and to proper brain function. Check out the National Sleep Foundation for more information about the importance of sleep. 

When you settle in to study remember some important things: 

*EAT and don't just eat anything. Eat good, nutritious food. Your body and your mind with thank you. 

*DRINK plenty of water. Dehydration can seriously impact your ability to study. 

*SLEEP when you are tired. And try to get at least 7-9 hours a night. You will be more productive if you have gotten enough sleep.
