Cramminng is Bad
How do you study when the test is coming? Do you start
preparing for the weeks or moths before the test or leave things to the last
hour? If you start studying weeks or months before the test, is great. However,
if you study all the material in the last hour or minute, it’s not good for you
and it’s called cramming.
Cramming is the situation when students stay up until
morning to study before their test. This habit can lead to negative impacts for
some reason. The first reason is that disruptions in the regular sleep cycle
can cause temporary intellectual lapses. For most students, less sleep can make
them could not focus in the class. Additionally, cramming can leave us with
“something that I have seen before” in our memory. However, being able to
recognize something is not the same as being able to recall it. Besides that,
each person has their different sleeping time, so some of them often use a
stimulant for cramming. Furthermore, that stimulant gives bad effect to its
consumers.
The example stimulant is coffee. It causes many problems
such as Caffeine Intoxiation Syndrome, anxiety, panic, headaches, and so on. To
sum up, cramming is bad because it disturbs our regular sleep cycle which cause
temporary intellectualn lapses and using stimulant for cramming gives bad
effect to our health.
