Exam times have always been stressful for many. Right from standard 8th to the completion of graduation, most of the students experience acute chronic stress due to the number of exams which have to be given. While some students get extremely stressed, some are able to cope well, remain healthy and perform well in their academics and career. So what is it that actually helps the student to reach that potential?

Most students pride themselves for not sleeping during the exams and for burning the midnight oil. A large chunk of this has been created by a false belief system stating that the student must revise the exam portion the previous day or maybe the student is not prepared and is trying to retain last minute preparations. For whatever may be the reason, a good night sleep not only the day before the exam but also 1 month prior to exam is essential.
