Exams are really overwhelming for me this semester, and I honestly feel close to burnout. At that time, I used Affordable Assignments when my workload felt out of control, just to understand how to organise my tasks better. Even now, I struggle with stress and poor sleep during revision days. What practical steps or daily habits would you suggest to help me avoid burnout during exams?

Exams can definitely feel overwhelming, especially when stress starts affecting sleep and concentration. A lot of students try to push through by studying longer hours, but poor sleep actually makes it harder for the brain to retain information.
One thing that helped me during heavy study periods was paying attention to sleep quality rather than just sleep duration. When your brain doesn’t go through proper REM cycles, memory consolidation suffers and you feel mentally exhausted even after several hours of sleep.
Recently I’ve been reading about tools that allow at home EEG sleep monitoring, which analyze brain activity during sleep and help identify disruptions in sleep cycles. Some platforms are even using this technology to help people better understand how stress and irregular routines affect sleep patterns. I came across an example explaining how this works through their at-home EEG sleep monitoring app, which breaks down sleep stages and brain activity in a really simple way.
Besides that, a few habits that helped me during exams were keeping a fixed sleep schedule, avoiding caffeine late at night, and taking short breaks during study sessions to prevent burnout.
Sleep often gets ignored during exam season, but improving sleep quality can make a huge difference in focus and energy levels.
