Studying may come off as a mentally draining task and perhaps even boring to most. Thus, as students, you might need a ritual to properly recharge during your study breaks to refocus every chance you get.

Having an efficient break is equally as important as having a productive study session. Why? Your brain will need all the attention span it can get to be a successful student. So let’s have a look at some tips to properly recharge you brain during study breaks.

A quick 1-minute exercise

Simple exercises have been shown to improve your memory, creativity, and intelligence, which are all vital if you want to get good grades.

Jumping jacks, burpees, and mountain climbers are all quick and easy exercises that you can do while you’re taking a break to study. You don’t need to do a full workout to get your blood moving. Instead, a few minutes of movement will do the job for you.

If you don’t like working out, take a short walk instead. Then, you can go to the bathroom or the kitchen to get a drink of water.

Keep track of your study breaks by setting the alarm every 25 minutes or so. This way, you can break up long study sessions into shorter study sessions. This Pomodoro technique works wonders in studying. Remember studying is like a marathon, not a sprint.

Munch on something healthy

Snacks are perhaps the most popular to recharge during your study breaks. When you’re under a lot of stress, you’re more likely to eat junk food that’s high in fat and sugar, which can reduce your brain’s ability to learn new things.

If you’re looking to improve your memory and mental alertness, skip the potato chips, cookies, and Snickers bars. Instead, go for brain-boosting foods like bananas, avocados, seeds, and almonds. In addition, the feel-good hormone endorphins are released when you eat dark chocolate, which improves concentration and boosts your mood.

Get some fresh air outside

If you’ve spent the last few hours slogging through mounds of data, you deserve a well-earned break.

Spending time outside has been demonstrated to lessen anxiety, despair, anger, and stress. If you’re able to take in the sights and sounds of nature, you’ll be in a better mood and more focused when you get back to studying.

Now is the perfect time to stroll outside, soak up the rays, and watch the birds soar!

Look at the horizons

If you’re using a laptop or tablet to study for long periods, you may experience eye strain and vision problems. This can cause dry eyes, headaches, and blurred vision.

To study well, you must keep your notes at a 20-20-20 distance from one another. In other words, for every 20 minutes of study, spend 20 seconds staring towards the distance of around 20 feet away (6 metres). Taking a break will help to relieve eye strain and other symptoms.

Mindfulness is the key to relieving stress

It can be very stressful during the exam season because you don’t know if you’ll finish your revision in time.

It’s essential to take breaks between your study sessions to do mindful activities like deep breathing or mindful stretching because they are good at calming the mind. In addition, there’s been a lot of research that shows that meditation, in particular, can help your body’s stress hormone, cortisol.

  • Say hello to Zakarya and Abdulmalek, two fresh faces at APU who are already settling in like pros! 🎓✌️ They both received cash rebates for their #FreeStudentVisa and even share the same accommodation — yup, all set up smoothly by us so they didn’t have to stress a thing. 🏡✨

It’s always nice seeing students arrive together, and even better when they click this well from day one. From unpacking bags to navigating campus life — these two are in it together. 🔥

Wishing them the best as they kickstart their student journey here in Malaysia — it’s only the beginning! 💛

  • Welcoming Yaqoob and Sayed Rehan from Kuwait — students we first met back during Ramadhan at the #Yes2Malaysia Expo, and today they’re finally here in Malaysia, all settled in and ready to begin their aviation journey! ✈️🇲🇾

They explored the Hangar for the first time with Ms Nisa, tried local favourites like masak lemak daging salai and asam pedas (which they loved, even with the heat! 🔥), and got their medical check-ups done.

These two have been friends since Grade 10, and now they’re kicking off this new chapter together at the same university. Classes start next week on the 27th — and we know they’re going to fly high, literally and academically! 💛

Here’s to a smooth takeoff, boys — your #MalaysianExperience is just beginning, and it’s going to be full of flavour, fun, and moments that go way #BeyondTheClassroom.

  • Say hello to Neil, our bright and beaming MUFY student at #SunwayUniversity! 🌞✨ From the moment he arrived, Neil brought along his humble charm, positive energy, and of course — that contagious smile that lights up the room 😄

Even before Orientation Day kicked off, Neil already had a circle of friends from the MUFY and CIMP programmes — talk about social skills unlocked! 🧑‍🤝‍🧑💬 He’s excited to begin this new chapter and we’re beyond proud of his confidence and kindness.

Also big shoutout to his super sporting dad who joined us for a quick lunch at a Muslim Chinese spot while Neil got busy with orientation 🍜🇨🇳 Family support = top-tier Malaysian vibes ❤️

All the best, Neil! Keep being you — and keep that smile going strong! 🫶
