Lately I have been studying 3-6 hours a day. After about an hour I start getting that weird feeling like I can't stand to sit still anymore, a cramp in my wrist, and my neck hurts. So I get up, stretch, take a short break and go back to work. Like half an hour later I'll start getting all ancy all over again. What are some good tips to help me study longer without easily getting wrist cramps, neck pains and ancy feelings? Thanks.

You should do easy exercises like jumping jacks, stretches, sit ups, jogging in place, or just get some water or an apple or something to munch on.
Make sure you sit up straight and bend over the work while you study and make sure you're stting at a desk or table...no lying on the floor or the bed etc. Get comfy in the chair...put a pillow on the back or your butt. [ ductape_n_roses's advice column | Ask ductape_n_roses A Question ]
