we all study differently. there are various ways in which one could study even better. there are those who would eat a lot, those who would do it in silent and in quiet place.. but there are those who turn on the radion while studying.. are you that one?.. and was it effective?...

I find it conducive to studying when I play the music not the FM radio since I get too involved to discussions on the radio. Anyways, listening to the music makes me concentrate. :D

well, it depends upon the music too. well, if it is hard rock, then studying would be not good. but if it is instrumental or mellow, it would be conjusive to sleeping too. hmm, such a hard ways to study.. well, thank you for sharing...

I have tried. At times it works and sometimes it doesn't because I tend to sing along with the music so I end up not studying anymore and at times my concentration is at it's maximum when I have music on. So it really depends on my mood.

i only turn the radio on really, really low. that helps me concentrate. as much as possible though, i want to keep the place quiet but hate the idea of silence because it makes me feel alone. so i still turn the radio on very low.

that is nice. to keep it low will give you concentration. and turning it on, will really give you energy not to sleep. nice strategy..

JumM... for me, it seems that I get more concentrated with music, I let my thoughts go with the flow of the melody... The words come out with little effort, and my mom always asks me how can I study listening to music, but everybody has their own way to do things, right? Happy MyLotting and have a nice day! Xp

Back in my college days I always study while listening to my fav tunes. I had to listen through my headphones since my roomate don't like the idea of listening to music while studying. We both done well in our studying and I guess maybe listening to music or not doesn't effect the concentration. Maybe it's the system on how you study.

I do not. When I study I need absolute silence. Even sound of TV from other room while I got closed door is disturbing for me. Simply I can not focus. For me it is best when I am alone at home without anyone. So I can not hear any talk, any sound just silence:) I know many people who do not care if the music is turn on or off. But I can not simply focus if I hear any sounds. Strange:)
