    Personally its just to relax totally, lie on the couch and watch tv wihtout thinking much at all. Anything that doesnt require major amounts of effort basically!!

    Every morning my mom cooks me a fry up. Perfect way to go into an exam with the attitude you're gonna nail it.

    When not studying, don't think about it!!

    Relax whatever way works for you.

    Good idea to get some air / exercise though, even if it's only a brisk 20 minute walk, it will help you sleep.

    I find reading really relaxing, it wont end after half an hour like tv, but its hard to put down though sometimes!:)
