Exam Stress: In a recent incident, a Class 10 student from Lucknow, who was preparing for her ongoing CBSE Board exams, ended up hospitalized after overdosing on an “anti-sleep” medication. This led to significant swelling of her nerves, ultimately necessitating major brain surgery to remove a clot.
Reportedly, she had been taking anti-sleep medicine to keep herself awake throughout her board exam preparation. As per a well-known psychiatrist, the claims are that the increasing trend of these anti-sleep pills during exams was a result of growing exam stress and peer pressure.
To overcome exam stress, focus on preparation and self-care. Create a realistic study schedule, take regular breaks, and ensure you get enough sleep. Practice deep breathing or meditation to calm your mind. Avoid comparing yourself with others and believe in your abilities
