Coffee: A cup that makes studying easier
Getting a good higher education, going to college and aspiring for academic excellence are something that shapes everybody's dreams and eventually their careers. However, accomplishing these ambitions and achieving these degrees comes with a commitment to studying and proper preparation for term papers, exams and commitments.
There is no secret formula to meeting these challenges. The answer quite, simply lies in hard work and most importantly, never leaving anything till the last minute!
Yet sometimes it is quite natural when university students or professionals seeking higher education find it difficult to get their thoughts together or focus enough on the subject at hand.
It’s at this time that Coffee can help!
Coffee is an enjoyable drink that helps kick-start the morning and provides a boost of energy during the day. This is because, the caffeine in coffee is a mild stimulant that can in many ways help increase the capacity to study. It can positively affect overall mood, enhance alertness and performance while eventually, thereby aiding learning abilities.
Here’s how:
- By increasing focus and concentration: Coffee can help drive attention to the main task, which in this case, is studying. Especially when there are many distractions around, coffee helps draw attention to what needs to be learned, increasing focus and making the studying process more productive.
- By enhancing short term memory: Memory is divided into Short Term Memory (STM); which is active in learning new material, and Long Term Memory (LTM) which retains information that can be recalled later in life. Caffeine promotes alertness and helps to reduce fatigue, aiding the STM in the ability to retain information. So during tiresome studying sessions, caffeine can enhance the amount of information stored in the STM, thereby facilitating learning and better understanding.
- By increasing alertness: Caffeine acts as a stimulant to improve alertness, attention and wakefulness and can therefore ease the process of learning and processing information. This is especially helpful when performing long, detailed, tedious tasks like reading textbooks for example.
- By enhancing mood: At times when it gets a little too difficult to focus, a coffee break will offer a welcome change of mind by enhancing concentration and stimulating moods, thus making it easier to focus on the task at hand.
Remember that for coffee drinkers, enjoying coffee in moderation is equivalent to 3 to 4 cups per day. As research has shown that the effects of coffee on alertness and concentration might increase performance, be it for studying or performing everyday tasks.
High achievement, however, is also about making the most of a studying plan. So for assistance with aspirations, here are a few helpful tips:
1- Good planning: By making a timetable for a study plan and sticking to it.
2- Healthy eating: Especially before studying and before sitting down for an exam.
3- Exercising: To boost energy levels and enhance mood.
4- Getting adequate sleep: Overnights are sometimes inevitable; but it is always better to avoid them right before the exam, as research has shown that sleep deprivation negatively affects mental performance.
All in all, coffee is an enjoyable drink that can help boost energy and increase the ability to learn and remember, especially when used as a complement to good planning, hard work, proper nutrition and exercise.
