Again I was looking at CNN and found an intersiting article about ADD and ADHD in which i have ADD and take medican for it. For people that do not have ADD all the time but just some random days and don't know why well this article talks about some of the reason.
One can be a lack of sleep. With out sleep its hard for people to concentrate. Also lack of food, running on fumes and not fuel. A light snack with some water can give one a quick burst of energy. Stressing out can cause one not to concentrate as much as normal. A bit of exericse can help one to releve some stress and help one to relax.
Knowing some of these things can help me get through school because some days are harder than others to concentrate in class because of a late night and then a very stressful week when there are tons of test or soccer is not going well for me.
College students need to read this because knowing some of these can help when having to study for a test or having a paper to write. I know most people have to take 10 million study breaks because they can only hold their attention span for 30 min and no longer.

I read an article once that pretty much told me that I have ADD or ADHD. Your blog made me realize why I had all of these symptoms! I was running on fumes and not enough fuel at all. I was drinking coffee all of the time to stay up and get work done and had no energy what so ever, but I finally started getting more sleep and eating a little better. Those small tips helped a great ton! Thanks for the advice!!
