How to Study When You’re Exhausted (But Still Get A’s)

Worked all day? 3 hours sleep? You can still study effectively. Here’s how.

1. 20-Minute Power Study

Short, intense bursts > long, tired sessions. Use timer.

2. Active Recall Only

No re-reading. Quiz yourself. 80% retention in 20 min.

3. Outsource Heavy Writing

Essay due? Order from PaperHelp — wake up to a draft.

4. Cold Shower + Coffee

5 min cold shower = 2 hours extra alertness. Add black coffee.

5. Stand & Study

Use a high desk or stack books. Blood flow = focus.

6. Voice Notes

Record yourself explaining concepts. Listen while walking.

7. Micro-Breaks

• Every 20 min: 2 min stretch
• Look 20 feet away for 20 sec

8. Prioritize Ruthlessly

Tonight: Only 3 weakest topics. Nothing else.
