Q Besides the tonic, is there anything an exam candidate can practice to boost concentration?
A Resting 10-15 minutes after 90 minutes of studying (respecting the brain's recovery cycle), going to bed before 11pm, and eating breakfast are the three key habits that maximize the tonic's effects.
Detailed Answer
The brain naturally enters a recovery cycle after 90 minutes of focus, so rather than forcing yourself to push through, it's more efficient to repeat 90 minutes of focus followed by 15 minutes of rest. Studying after 11pm interferes with sleep hormone secretion, lowering concentration the following day. Skipping breakfast cuts off glucose supply to the brain, sharply reducing morning concentration.
