AI Thread Summary
Waking up early can be challenging, especially during winter months, and the desire to revise before an exam may lead to procrastination. To optimize performance, it's suggested to maintain a consistent sleep rhythm and prioritize a good night's sleep over last-minute cramming. Staying hydrated and increasing exposure to light can also help. While the urge to study intensively is strong, focusing on long-term comprehension rather than short-term memorization is recommended. Ultimately, being well-prepared and well-rested is more beneficial than attempting to cram the night before an exam.

I can wake up early. problem is I am lazy subconsciously and it's winter so I sleep again. Any way to trick it just for 1 day? Tommorow is my exam and I have finished studying and revising most of things, I want to spend some time revising again. Any tips will be appreciated.

You have to follow a similar rhythm for your body to get used to it. Suck it up, you're likely out of luck tomorrow. Get a good night's sleep and stay hydrated.
 
More light might help.

But if that exam is tomorrow then I may suggest to focus on that and leave this side project for different times.

I would suggest that if the exam is tomorrow a good night's sleep will do you far more good than sleep-deprived cramming. You sound prepared.
Get out of the habit of studying "for exams". Always study for long term comprehension and you don'thave to sweat the small stuff

our exams are memorization based. i approach study for long term. problem is time is too short for exams or i am too dumb and slow minded. that feeling you get when you revise same thing 3 times is unparalleled. i want that experience again :) let's see.
 
Thread 'In the early days of electricity, they didn't have wall plugs'
Hello scientists, engineers, etc. I have not had any questions for you recently, so have not participated here. I was scanning some material and ran across these 2 ads. I had posted them at another forum, and I thought you may be interested in them as well. History is fascinating stuff! Some houses may have had plugs, but many homes just screwed the appliance into the light socket overhead. Does anyone know when electric wall plugs were in widespread use? 1906 ad DDTJRAC Even big...
