Not taking enough sleep the night before the exam. I reckon 50% of the candidates lose it even before attempting the exam!
Taking a good amount of sleep (at least 7 hours) would add 4-5 questions to one's tally and would also help minimise silly mistakes. I interacted with many aspirants on this point, and I was shocked by the degree of neglect they showed towards this fact.
'Mai 2-3 ghante so kar hi manage kar leta hu '- This is what they'll tell you. Such people lose 10 marks every year and find their names on the list more often than not. You're fooling yourself if you're one of them.
Sleep for 7-8 hours. What's the harm?
What about the aspirants who try hard but dont get sleep out of nervousness/anxiety, the night before?
@Wordsmithyy_nehrubose hi dost, I personally have/had this same problem that you have shared. Through personal experience, I have realised that even if we just lie on bed, eyes closed and listen to some soothing music without sleeping and being in senses, it helps big way.Sharing one of my best treasure that my very good friend shared here couple of months ago. This is probably the most watched video on my youtube account this year. Have a look.
Having said that, I personally know someone who despite sleeping for just 2-3 hours the night before prelims, could manage to get >90 marks thrice in a row. So yes, have faith. More sleep is generally better but Indomitable spirit >sleepless night can also help in qualifying the prelims. It’s doable : )
Thank you so much :)
@Wordsmithyy_nehrubose one solution can be that you can try being sleep deprived just a day before. Like get up early on 4th lets say 2-3 hrs early than your usual schedule + try not to sleep in the day, you might eventually end up getting good sleep due to that.
Yeah!! But that can be a back fire though.

1. Sleep for 5-6 hours the night of 3rd June
2. On the 4th, walk as much as you can throughout the day.
This is what I follow. It works for me
Thanks! Noted.

Practice Yoga Nidra for a week leading up to the exam. Listen to the video that @Jammu shared when you want to sleep. Put your earplugs in and do what it tells you to. It is very very effective. I've been recommending that video to my friends for over a year now!.
Definitely!! After seeing so many people vouching for it. Thanks!
