While you may feel like a selfless citizen donating blood, it may not be helpful during finals week. Osman said that getting your blood drawn takes away 10 percent of your nutrients. Add the fact that you are studying and getting no sleep and it could cause you to get sick.

Two no-brainers to avoid during finals week are alcohol and cigarettes. “Alcohol is an empty calorie, in other words, it doesn’t have any nutrients with it,” Osman said. “So I would recommend that a person who is trying to maximize their scores on tests during final exams avoid alcohol. It is not helpful at all and it will bind up some of the oxygen that is necessary for quality thinking. It will also cause dehydration and that dehydration will interfere with maximum thinking capacity.” Smoking will also bind up oxygen, preventing it from getting to the brain.

“A power nap is under 25 minutes,” Osman said. “If you go over 25 minutes in your power nap, you’ll move into a deeper level of sleep and when you wake up after 35-45 minutes, you’ll be groggy and will not be very efficient at going back to studying.” Instead of being tempted to snooze your power nap into a full-length nap, try this tip first: drink caffeine right before your nap. “It takes about 25 minutes for the mocha drink to be absorbed and then the caffeine that’s in the coffee will be available for me as a drug of choice,” Osman said. “So when I have that caffeine activated after 25 minutes I will feel more energized also psychologically from a chemical basis.”

Put these songs on repeat and let the inspiration start to flow. These tunes will keep you going even when you’ve hit the 11th study hour. So rock on and study hard.
