www.smart-kit.com -- Smart-kit.com a leading website dedicated to providing studying techniques, is hosting a contest to create a compilation of
study tips from its readers and help others learn how to study smarter, not harder.
Almost all students have been forced to pull an all-nighter, said Dr. R.L. Kaplan, Board Certified Neurologist and author of Smart-kit.com. But few realize the negative effects sleep
deprivation can have on brain function the following day, decreasing the likelihood of performing well on tests.
According to the journal, Occupational & Environmental Medicine, after 19+ hours without sleep, performance on cognitive tests reached levels equivalent to those associated with a BAC
(blood alcohol concentration) of 0.1 percent. In the majority of states, a BAC of 0.08 percent is grounds for a DUI. This means that students pulling an all-nighter don'st have enough
brain function to legally drive a car.
It is important that students learn more effective and healthy study habits, said Kaplan. That is the goal of this contest, to educate students on a variety of ways to increase
information learned while decreasing study time.
The contest, which begins on February 22nd, allows visitors to submit their favorite study techniques with a chance to win 1 of 2 prizes donated by Hearthmath Company. The prizes include
a/an:
1.
emWave Machine
2.
