Finals are THE WORST. But these tips and tricks will make them suck a little less.
Cut the music
Listening to music while studying hinders the brain from full concentration. If you absolutely need a constant soundtrack, listen to instrumental pieces like classical or jazz.

Chew gum
Chewing gum while studying helps boost mental performance. Just make sure it's sugar-free so you don't get cavities!

Turn on the lights
Bright lights increase learning and ward off depression (which we're all prone to during finals). Study outside if you can and definitely avoid dim study spaces.

Take a caffeine nap
If you find yourself requiring a midday boost, drink a caffeinated beverage right before you take a nap. It takes caffeine about 15 minutes to kick in, so your body will wake you up naturally (but set an alarm just in case). This way you won't oversleep and you'll be twice as alert when you wake up.
