I'm used to getting "study tips" in my inbox from alternative credit providers, but today I opened this email from a chewing gum company:

It sounds crazy, but it actually works. I can study for hours longer with less physical and mental fatigue if I chew DoubleMint gum while I study. The difference it makes for me is huge.
TESU BA June 2018.
Various business certificates still to do.

I'm sure you are right! My husband would know the science behind it, but I've heard him (as a professional) advocate for gum chewing/some kind of deep pressure to certain points of the jaw during studying too.

Obviously gum industry propaganda. Hehe

I will give it a shot, taking two tests today. I actually think will try Audacity too. Some of the lessons I watch are spoken too slowly.
