Cramming the night before an exam will only make you feel worse and most of what you revise probably won&#8217;t go in. Give yourself a cut-off point and make food, relaxation and rest your priorities after that point.<\/li>\n<li>When it comes to setting targets, be realistic.

Make sure to set some time aside where you can get some exercise in, be it a run around campus, a few lengths of the pool or a session in the gym.<\/li>\n<li>It can be tempting to comfort eat during stressful periods, but remember the basics: foods with slow releasing energy will help you revise more effectively for longer. Pasta, fish and eggs are all great examples of the foods you want to be getting in for exams and deadlines.<\/li>\n<li>Keep your immune system topped up with lots of vegetables!<\/li>\n<li>Routines can fall way out of order during busy periods, which can make you feel <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/exam-support\/personal-support\/\">agitated and tired<\/a>. Figure out when and how you work best, and try to adjust your existing routine to that.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p>The exam period can be very intense, but if you take the advice above on board, you&#8217;ll sail straight through to calmer waters.
