Finals week is approaching for many college students and for those who haven't kept up it can be a time of sheer panic, accompanied by a study strategy that often includes lots of caffeine and late hour cramming.

Spring is here, but don't remind the college students.

Many are hibernating in libraries and coffee shops, armed with books, laptops, iPods, and the ever-popular caffeine laden beverages.

But health experts warn more than a few cups a day can trigger anxiety, upset stomach and other ills.

Another study habit that often backfires: cramming.

Organizational expert Jeff Davidson says cramming overloads the brain.

He recommends a seven day strategy, tackling the brunt of studying on day one, decreasing the load as exam date nears.

Another tip, turn off the tunes says Davidson.

Soft background music or white noise is okay, notes Davidson.

As for cell phones and other electronic distractions, Davidson recommends a 50 minute study and 10 minute text/talk break approach.

And don't forget a good night's sleep, exercise and a few healthy snacks… when you can cram it in.
