Study with low lighting

Lighting shouldn't be too bright in your study area. Bright light reflecting off a white page can stress your eyes and make learning harder. Research shows that for 70% of students, studying with low lighting is best. Did you ever read under the bed covers when you were very young? Your parents probably told you you'd ruin your eyesight, but this isn't true. For most children and teenagers, low lighting is the most effective.
In fact, as we get older, into our mid 20s, our eye muscles start to weaken and we need brighter light and sometimes glasses. If possible, avoid fluorescent lights as these flicker at a different rate than your brain and interrupt brain processing. They can cause tiredness, lack of motivation and even headaches.
