How do I stop continuosly rereading sentences without understanding them?

Asked by jlm11f (12413points) May 26th, 2010

I’ve been studying pretty much at all waking hours for the whole week. But I’m having this problem where while reading a lecture, I keep re-reading sentences several times without actually understanding/registering what it is saying. It doesn’t have to be a hard sentence or even anything complicated. It could be something as simple as “Voluntary contractions reflect a conscious decision to increase motor unit activity while reflexes reflect non-conscious drive” and I’ll still do the same thing.

Eventually I get frustrated enough to pay attention and understand what it is saying. But I don’t want to have to re-read in the first place. Does that make sense?

Any suggestions? I know it’s probably just because I’ve been studying so much, but it’s annoying and a waste of time. And I’m not even tired right now. Please make it stop!
