Rest Is Important

If you want an easy way to improve focus, see what a positive effect sleeping 8 to 9 hours has on you! It makes you more alert. You awake refreshed. It improves concentration and one’s ability to learn new things. If you’re not getting enough, you might be less attentive, more distractible and have more episodes of feeling depressed and anxious. Plus, a lack of rest makes it more challenging for you to do your daily duties at work, college and home.


Having a difficult time going to sleep? Did you play computer games right before laying down? This can make it difficult to doze off, since playing games activates the brain even more. To make sure you get your 8, do something that’s quieting right before going to bed.
