My neck started making noises everytime I turn my head after I started studying for the LSAT. Here is what I do: Every morning, 30 minute walk. Then 10 minute stretch. Every other hour get up and do a five minute stretch. Before night time do a ten minute stretch. For the neck, push your chin all the way up so that your facing the ceiling, stay that way for the ten seconds. Rest. Then push your neck all the way down, hold for ten seconds. Repeat. It helps a little bit.
Get an 8 or 12 ounce cup and drink lots of water. If you are like me, it will force you to get up and refill your tiny cup at least once an hour and give your body a break from being sedentary for 8 hours at a time. It's hard not to let the time pass but it's worth it to get up hourly and walk around for 5 minutes and give your mind and eyes a breather. Good luck studying!
give up LSAT or continue pain
I thought it was just me!
if you're using a laptop or computer to study, make sure its at eye level!
i am definitely in the 'continue pain' camp :-)
Yeah! I completely agree that drinking water while studying helps a lot. Make sure to take breaks too!
My jaw is beginning to lock also... Dam stress.
