Studying can be stressful , not because the subject is hard , but because you aren't allowing your brain to grow. We spend countless ours styling our hair , exercising to build better bones , balancing our diet for better nutrition and so on . But we forget the important thing . Our brain. The operator of every action our body performs. We refuse to allow it to grow stronger .
So how can you enhance your brains power? Remember , everyone is equally intelligent. The trick is to use that intelligence to it's maximum potential. Let's face it , the world needs more smarts.

1. Almonds are believed to improve memory. If a combination of almond oil and milk is taken together before going to bed or after getting up at morning, it strengthens our memory power. Almond milk is prepared by crushing the almonds without the outer cover and adding water and sugar to it.

2.Sleep well
Research indicates that the long-term memory is consolidated during sleep by replaying the images of the experiences of the day. These repeated playbacks program the subconscious mind to store these images and other related information.

3.Enjoy simple Pleasures
Stress drains our brainpower. A stress-ridden mind consumes much of our memory resources to leave us with a feeble mind. Make a habit to engage yourself in few simple pleasures everyday to dissolve stress from your mind. Some of these simple pleasures are good for your mind, body and soul.

4.Fast for a day
Fasting cleans and detoxifies our body. It is known fact that heavy food not only causes stress on our digestive system but also drains our brainpower. Fasting relieves toxic emotions such as anger, grief, worry, and fears - before they accumulate and cause disease. By cleansing toxic emotions, fasting strengthens metal clarity with increases memory, concentration, creativity and insight.

5.Exercise your mind
Just as physical exercise is essential for a strong body, mental exercise is equally essential for a sharp and agile mind. Have you noticed that children have far superior brainpower than an adult does? Children have playful minds. A playful mind exhibits superior memory power. Engage in some of the activities that require your mind to remain active and playful.

6.Eat a light meal in the night
A heavy meal at night causes tossing and turning and a prolonged emotional stress while at sleep. It’s wise to eat heavy meal during the day when our body is in motion to consume the heavy in-take. Eating a light meal with some fruits allows us to sleep well. A good night sleep strengthens our brainpower.

7.Control your temper
Bleached food, excess of starch or excess of white bread can lead to nerve grating effect. This results in a violent and some time depressive behavior. Eat fresh vegetables. Drink lots of water and meditate or practice yoga to relieve these toxic emotions of temper and violent mood swings.

8.Practice Yoga or Meditation
Yoga or Meditation relives stress. Stress is a known memory buster. With less stress, lower blood pressure, slower respiration, slower metabolism, and released muscle tension follows. All of these factors contribute significantly towards increases in our brainpower.

9.Stay up to date
Know what’s happening in the news. Keep track of current events by watching the nightly news, reading the newspaper or looking online. This is a good practice as by doing so you are allowing your mind to develop intellectually.

10.Look at things from the other side
If you have an opinion about a certain subject or issue, look at it from the other side. Learn the merits of the opposing opinion, and try to understand another point of view. This type of critical thinking will boost your knowledge base and your brain power.

11. Read for fun
Don’t just read for knowledge; read for fun as well. Even if you enjoy reading novels, you can boost your brain power by working your imagination as you journey to new places using your mind.

12.Don’t forget to laugh
Laughing relieves stress and releases chemicals that help you feel positive. Humor can be a good way to release tension and let your brain get a little relaxation.

13.Interact with others
Socializing can be a to learn new ideas and share your own. Creative sharing — or just relaxing with others — can boost creativity and make your brain stronger

14.Ask Allah
The Best One (highlight the heading to view it)

I'm working on a longer list , but feel free to add your own ideas...

2. Which do you mean: sleeping early so you can wake up early, or does the time at which you sleep not important and only the duration of the sleep? Or is it both?
3. Can you please give examples of simple pleasures? :)
5. Does sudoku or playing puzzle games count? If not, then can you please give examples?

Anyway, great useful advice!

The human brain was designed to rest at night. And yes , the amount of sleep matters aswell.

3. Can you please give examples of simple pleasures? :)
Anything you think will make you relax
(remember , thinking that you are relaxed and actually relaxing are two different things)


5. Does sudoku or playing puzzle games count? If not, then can you please give examples?

If Sudoku is played on hard mode then yes. Easy mode is for spoiling you. yes Puzzles count. Anything that will allow your mind to process material counts .
