Get enough sleep: Get exercise. Sleep at least 6 hours, better 7 or 8, going to bed at same time and getting up at same time EVERY night. The most common reason for poor student performance, and a common trigger for migraine, is sleeping at different times on different days. Sleep deprivation will make you sleepy and much less efficient at mental tasks. Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is a sleeping pill which should not be used often.
