INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Try what's known as the Pomodoro technique to keep yourself on track with your studying. Set a timer to work without any distractions for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break. Repeat those intervals for however long you'd like to study. Use your 5-minute breaks to relax and recharge your brain. Do something unrelated to what you're studying, like stretching out your body or watching a funny YouTube video. Take a longer 30-minute break after you complete 4 intervals. Lay down on the couch or get into bed if you're at home for a quick power nap. If you're at the library or in a classroom, rest your head on the desk in a comfortable position to doze. Set your alarm for no more than 20 minutes later so you wake up feeling refreshed instead of drowsy. If possible, choose a spot that's quiet and dark to take your nap, which will help you get better quality sleep. Make sure you're getting at least 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night, too. Naps are a good boost but they aren't a substitute for uninterrupted sleep. Go for a short walk or jog, do some bodyweight exercises, or take a quick yoga class, for example. Move your body to wake up all of your muscles and release proteins in your brain that improve your memory. If you can, do your exercise outside for even more benefits. Fresh air is an instant energy boost. Instead of doing a marathon study session of 1 topic, break your study time up and change the topic after each break so you don't burn out on 1 subject. For example, study calculus for the first hour, then switch to physics. If you're only studying for 1 class, like English, change the specific material you're reviewing if possible. For instance, start with Shakespeare, then move to Chaucer.

SUMMARY: Study in 25-minute intervals if you like having scheduled breaks. Take a 10 to 20 minute nap if you're really tired. Exercise for 15 to 20 minutes on a break to get your blood flowing. Switch the topic you're studying after each break to stay focused.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Place your griddle or frying pan over medium heat and allow it to warm up. If you're not using a non-stick pan, add a tablespoon (15 ml) of cooking oil to the pan as well. When the oil is warm, pick up the pan and swirl the oil around to coat the pan. You can use butter to cook the pikelets, but butter has a much lower smoke point than oil, and even medium heat will be enough to burn it. Pikelets are traditionally quite small, and each one only requires a tablespoon (15 ml) of batter. Drop one tablespoonful of batter into the hot pan for each pikelet, leaving room between them for expansion. Cook the pikelets for about a minute, until bubbles begin to form and pop in the surface of the batter. When that happens, flip them over and cook for another minute or so, until both sides are golden brown. Remove the cooked pikelets from the pan and transfer them to a plate. Cover them with a clean tea towel so they stay warm while you cook the remaining batches. Continue cooking the pikelets until all the batter is gone.

SUMMARY: Preheat the griddle. Cook the pikelets. Keep cooked pikelets warm.

If it is wet or soiled, take off the old one and use baby wipes to clean the baby's genitals and legs. Allow the area to dry completely, then apply a soothing ointment and put on a new diaper. Check your baby's diaper at least every 2 to 3 hours to help prevent diaper rash and keep your baby comfortable. Always wash your hands before and after you change your baby's diaper. Change diapers in a warm, clean location, such as on a clean towel on your living room floor or on a changing table in the baby's nursery. y seem hungry. Breastfeed or bottle-feed your baby pumped breast milk or formula. If your baby has progressed to solid foods, then you can also offer them some cereal or baby food. Some signs that your baby might be hungry include: Smacking their lips Crying Rooting (baby turning their head toward you when you touch their cheek) Putting their hands in their mouth After they are done eating, they may start to cry because of a gas build-up in their stomach. The best way to burp your baby is to lean your baby's stomach over your shoulder. One hand should be on the baby's bottom while the other is supporting the baby's head and neck. Gently pat your baby on the back as you hold them in this position until your baby burps. Keep your baby upright so that they can release the gas build-up. If your baby is still crying after you try to burp them, then they might need more help to release built-up gas. Lay your baby on their back on top of a soft blanket. Gently grab each of their lower legs and begin to bicycle them (this is the same motion as you would pedal a bicycle). Keep doing this until you either hear your baby relieve themself or they stop crying. You can also contact your doctor about using infant gas drops which help your baby pass gas. Make sure to consult your doctor about constant gas problems. This could be related to acid reflux, lactose intolerance, constipation, the stomach flu, etc. Babies, especially up to 7 months old, have strong sucking needs. If your baby is crying after changing, feeding, and burping them, then they might simply want something to suck on. Try giving your baby a pacifier or help them find their thumb and see if this helps to soothe them. Giving your baby a pacifier might also help them to fall asleep. Sometimes the best solution is the easiest. A baby will often cry a lot if they need to go to sleep. They may also yawn, be a tad cranky, or simply be falling asleep. Hold them in your arms for a while before you take them to their crib. After they are calm, lay them down in their crib on their back. Don't put any blankets, pillows, stuffed animals, or other items in the crib with your baby. These increase the risk of SIDS. A musical mobile hanging above the bed, playing a song, can help lull them to sleep. Always keep a baby monitor on if you plan on going out of the room.

SUMMARY:
Change your baby's diaper if they seem hungry. Pat your baby on their back to burp them after a feeding. Bicycle your baby's legs to help relieve built-up gas. Offer a pacifier if your baby is not responding to other strategies. Take your baby to their crib if they seem sleepy.
