Hi there! Frankly i think that day dreaming about girls is quite normal and to certain extent i think it should be done from time to time!!  Orelse how would you figure out what kinda woman you like? You need to do some serious thinking about it, dont you?? But hey,just dont overdo it! Think about girls when you have TIME to think about them!!! Simple!! When you find yourself constantly thinking about girls just tell yourself "wait till i finish my work or eat my dinner!! then i have time to think as long as i dont fall asleep!!" It can be very simple to stop any addiction if you just stop making a big deal out of it!! And oh yes! go ahead and find a girl friend!! I am sure then all your dreams will come true and i hope they dont turn nightmarish!! HA HA

the best thing I can tell you to do is to find something else to distract you (like the fear of failure). But seriously, I don't think you should act on your urges; just do something else while you're studying like work out or listen to music...that way you can keep your mind off women and sex, better still, study with somebody else...that way if your mind wanders they can stop you and quiz on the material...best of luck on your exam

find things to do at night with a companion [type] of your choice and do things at night that will make too tired to be bothered to "play" all day....get a "partner", get some "porno,start something that you cant quit, get a busy night life, work "HARD" all night,wear yourself out at night\n....get involved in "NIGHT" sports, get a hobby that doesn't make you so self-concerned...start to care about others and don't be so self-centered all focused on sports and "stats", GET A LIFE....

Im the same way too. Even in class, somedays I'm fine. But the other days Im trying to listen to the lecture, but my "mind keeps running in the background". I cannot stop what I am thinking and focus on the lecture alone. When I am at home I keep fantasizing and daydreaming while studying. ( When I do listen to a lecture, with 100% of my mind, it feels really, really good. )\n\nIve noticed that eating more protein, especially in the morning before class helps. It helps "ground" me. Ive been eating 2 eggs in the morning. But since they have lots of cholesterol, try taking out one of the yolk, if you plan on doing this on a regular basis. Also, try to eat some sugar in the morning ( a blueberry muffin). \n\nAnother thing Ive noticed is that I have a better time concentrating after midnight. So, if you really need to get something done, try staying awake for a couple of hours after midnight. And yes like somebody mentioned ( about having a pen in your hand), you might want to study 2 things at once, or something like that.Keep two books open, and when you start daydreaming, switch to the other subject. Once you start concentrating, you won't start fantasizing for a while and youll be interested in studying more.( personal experience  )\n\nAlso try exercising. It will empty your mind and make you calm enough to concentrate. ( experience )\n\n\n\nP.S. One other thing, STOP watching tv at all costs. It will help you in the long run. But you may also want to try turning on the tv in the background, putting it on mute and studying.  I'm not sure, but this technique might work for you.

Get a good sleep/rest. Exercise and eat good. Know you own bodies peak alertness time of the day, and lowest/lagging time of the day. A good location in the house or at a library( somewhere that you can avoid distractions). Teaching tapes of a subject are good, even when you fall asleep listening to them. I would not suggest eating a big meal before study. I would not suggest studying while laying in bed or having inadequate lighting in your chosen space to study. After reading material for study purposes, go over your notes every day, as if you were summarizing it, to keep it fresh in your mind. \n  If it is a subject that you can apply to your life, or make a real case scenario out of it, then by all means do so. I would not try to experiment with any chemicals to "boost" concentration. That would be the start of a downhill tragedy. Group study is helpful for some if you have serious people in the study ( I would not recommend a boyfriend or girlfriend).No distractions!

LOL.....I've got the same problem.  I'm not sure how to stay focused.  One of my teachers suggested we take peppermint candies and suck on them.  The mintiness keeps you alert and awake.

I've done that too.  Then I read about dreams and started writing down my dreams as soon as I woke up.  This gives you some contact with your subconcious and practice you get actually gives you some control over what you do in your sleep.  Instead of being like two seperate people you start communicating with yourself.

What do you do all day? Cause one thing i notice about my life is that the days where i dont do anything.. i have trouble sleeping. Wear yourself out and set yourself up to sleep early.\n\nYou could also sacrifice a day. Just stay awake all thru the night, all the next day ( make sure you have nothing important to do) and then pass out at like 7-8 pm the next day.You'll wake up the next day early and well rested. Should be able to fall asleep the next night early too.\nEither way, youve just gotta teach your body when its time to sleep. Light effects sleep cycles, to make it dark in your bedroom. \nO, and if youve got a lot going on in your bedroom.. decorations etc. take it out, a simple room is easier to sleep in.\nand last but not least, Start at 10,000. Count backwards to 1. You'll never make it.

Do Yoga or go to a quiet place and listen to some nice sweet music. This can keep your mind free. Whenever I want to keep my mind free,I just listen to some nice music. Sometimes I do yoga.It keeps my mind very free. I hope this helps.

get busy doing something that takes a lot of concentration which distracts you from your obsessive thoughts. Simply focusing on your breathing, the air flowing in and out of your nose, can be a distraction. If you can tolerate being around other people, get involved in an activity or conversation which draws your focus outside yourself.

Everyone dreams many dreams a night, they are your mind shifting the previous day's memories into long term memory.  The issue might be you have a lot of things stressing you that you are constantly thinking about during the day.  If you have things pre-occupying your thoughts constantly they are inter-connecting themselves repetively to your short term memory.\n\nTry a little stress managment and focusing on the task each day.  You might sleep better.\n\nAlso diet or eating very late can cause unrestful sleep.  Excessive caffiene can cause your mind to constantly overwork.  Caffiene stays in the body 19 hours.

you never COMPLETELY get rid of it but you OVERCOME it by FORCING yourself out of your thoughts and VERBALIZING with females.\n\nStart NOW, practice a LOT and gradually proceed with prettier and more "popular" girls.\n\nGoogle "conversational skills" and find a guide that makes sense to you. This is a SKILL that can be learned-so get to it.

Perform ur own responsibility. Don't think. Act, just now plan and act. Don't waste ur time on thinking and only dreaming some desires. U need to do hard work, be sincere, make out a daily routine and act fast.

The more you think during the day, the more you dream about things at night. Try not too think too much and give your mind some slack sometimes.

What you need to do now is find as many ways as possible to stop thinking about yourself and your problems, as bad as you think they may be.\n\nStart by exercising every day, both aerobic and anaerobic, and eat and drink right.\n\nBy the latter statement, I mean drink at least 8 8oz. glasses of water a day, plus maybe Gatorade or another energy drink for when you workout.\n\nEat at least 2 full meals a day, and preferably with a 3rd minor meal (usually breakfast), and eat balanced meals, with plenty of foods from each food group.\n\nFind an organization or sport or group in your college that supports your skills, interests, and goals in life, whether that is the Pro-Life group, the Chess Club, or the Ski Club, just find something and stick with it, but don't do it so much as to neglect your studies, and on that end, find or create a study group for one or more of your classes, as that will help you focus better and benefit from the fellowship.\n\nFurthermore, find an intramural sport to play if your college offers them, since they are not so competitive like regular collegiate sports, but still can provide you with genuine friendships and a good time.\n\nLast, but not at all least, pray to God, even if you do not believe in Him, this is the best time to start, i.e. when you are suffering and need help with something in your life.\n\nPray every night and God will get you over this hump in your life.
