Caffeine or no Caffeine?
-
A very important maths exam is coming up, which I absolutely need to pass - lots of algebra and whatnot. However, the test will either be on a Tuesday morning, or a Thursday afternoon :sigh: so to improve my mental stimulation, brain activity, and concentration, do I load myself with caffeine (for example a can of Red Bull) so I'm awake and alert, or just try to get good nights of sleep before the exam, and hopefully pass it? As it's algebra, it would be helpful to be able to study my answers without shaking and craving more of the sweet drug and not make any silly mistakes, but I don't want to be dead on the day I do the exam and not be able to concentrate at all. Regards, --Perspx

I personally would take the full night's sleep approach, caffeine might make you jittery. Don't fret man, Algebra is waaaaay easy :)

I would say definitely get sleep and skip the caffeine. If you're only "hopeful" of passing it with sleep, taking Red Bull isn't going to help you pass.

Yes, I'm only hopeful; I really should have more self-confidence :doh: Complacency can be one's downfall though. Thanks for the advice, --Perspx

Question, why would you have an Algebra exam? If you're at university or college you ought to be at Calculus level :confused: Just curious...

Have you considered the benefits that "both" could bring you?

Yes, I suppose so; I'll try getting some decent sleep before the exam and not having too much caffeine beforehand, I think. Thanks for the advice, --Perspx

First of all, Red Bull is a wimp when it comes to caffeine. Have a coffee - it's got twice as much. Second, caffeine messes with your brain. If you can, choose sleep. Nothing beats being well rested. If you must choose caffeine, drink it half an hour before your exam. It'll start kicking in at just the right time. If you have it sooner, you risk the post-caffeine nap-time right when you need to be alert the most. Cheers, Drew.

Coffee can cause distractions (epecially if too much consumed), I personally take Ginkgo Biloba, Magnesium, Chromium Polynicotinate, Omega 3 and Black Currant Oil (and other stuff)... it tends to make one very focused (But thats prob bit extreme in your case). I think Ginkgo Biloba and Omega 3 would be sufficient. :) Disclaimer : Nothing contained in this post should be considered as medical advice, or as a substitute for advice given by a licensed health care provider.

Go with the good night's sleep route. It's better for you than being all jittered up from the caffeine.

Study in the morning with a big pot of coffee or an even bigger pot of tea. Avoid Red Bull. Eat plenty of carbs - nuts, bread, oatmeal cookies... Avoid all caffeine the afternoon and evening before. Get some good sleep. Avoid sniffing whiteboard markers. Limit your caffeine - but do not eliminate it - prior to the test. Sneak in a can of Coke and a candy bar, sneaking sips/bites throughout the test. Keep your brain supplied with easy sugar. Stay the hell away from Red Bull! You really don't need to be spazzing while you're trying to sit and focus. Try not to think about how good those whiteboard markers smell.

You're right. These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets.
