I feel like it’s a pointless waste of time for me idk…
Does it actually help you learn and is it worth it? Or should you just skip it for that day and wait till you don’t feel like death
Feels like even worse than a waste of time to me, like an actual negative where your half formed memories interfere with actual recall.
Especially if you’re cramming the night before. A good sleep will always get you a better result, and if you’re desperate because you’re completely unprepared the lesson to learn is don’t do that again.
Sleep makes you learn.
Everything before a sleep is just what you’re loading in for that sleep session basically.
Reading 4 hours and sleeping 4 is 10x better than reading 8 and sleeping zero.
Or reading 2 hours and sleeping 6 instead of reading 6 and sleeping 2. (The former being the better choice.)
If you’re tired to the point that you can’t retain any new information, it’s better to take a break and try later when you’re rested.
If I’m really determined to be productive I’ll do simple tasks that don’t require thinking, like making flashcards to use for later or writing out loose ideas and paragraphs that I’ll edit another time.
It will make you angry and frustrated, if that’s what you’re looking for. Probably doesn’t help with learning at all, quite the contrary. If you’re interested and engaged with the material, you can learn so much faster. If you hate what you’re doing, there will be very little progress, if any. Take a nap, and look at the material with fresh eyes when you feel better.
There can also be something I call “mental inertia”. Occasionally, it’s difficult to get started. That’s when a short warmup can help. Start with something easy, to get in the right mood. After that, you can tackle some of the harder problems.
Damn. See the thing is I’ve been sleep deprived for a few days now. I feel like at this rate if I don’t study I’ll never achieve my goals. Idk
You need a strategy to reach your goals, and it should include getting enough sleep. Neglecting it will not help with your goals, unless one of them is to be as miserable as possible.
I didn’t neglect it. I have no choice.
it would give you a sense of pride and accomplishmenttm
good luck with the memory retention though
You’ll have to put two hours into learning things that would take you one while awake.
Hopefully you’ve not procrastinated until this is your only option
There is definitely a point where it’s beneficial to have a rest and continue learning and/or write the exam the next day in a well-rested state.
The problem is I don’t know when I’ll be able to have a rest
