25 July 2025 Hey Suresh! I totally get how exhausting your schedule is — working long hours plus a tough commute, it’s no surprise you feel drained. But don’t worry, there are ways to manage your energy and study smartly for your CPT exam.

Here are some practical tips to help you beat tiredness and study effectively:

---

### 1. **Optimize Your Sleep**

* Try to get **at least 6-7 hours of sleep** every night.
* Sleeping earlier, say by 10:30 pm instead of 11 pm, can help you wake up refreshed at 5 am.
* Avoid screen time (mobile/TV) 30 mins before sleep — it affects sleep quality.

### 2. **Short Study Sessions**

* Instead of long continuous study in the early morning, try **shorter sessions** of 25-30 minutes with 5-minute breaks (Pomodoro technique).
* This helps keep your mind fresh and focused.

### 3. **Use Commute Time Smartly**

* Since your commute is long, try to utilize this time for **listening to audio notes or recorded lectures** related to CPT subjects.
* It’s a good way to reinforce concepts without physical strain.

### 4. **Prioritize Difficult Topics First**

* Study the toughest topics in the morning when your mind is fresh, and easier ones later in the day.
* This makes efficient use of your energy.

### 5. **Stay Hydrated and Eat Well**

* Drinking enough water and eating nutritious food keeps energy levels up.
* Avoid heavy meals late at night; light dinner helps better sleep.

### 6. **Power Naps**

* If possible, take a short **15-20 minute power nap** during lunch or evening to recharge.

### 7. **Physical Exercise**

* Even a short 10-minute walk or stretching can boost blood flow and reduce fatigue.
