Does music help you absorb what you are studying?

Studying with music? That's great. When I was still studying, I always have a background music when I study. Music makes me study better and absorb the things I am studying better. I love to play music while reading my books because it helps me concentrate more. When music is with me, I feel better and I feel relaxed as I study. Music makes wonders as I study my lessons. That was when I was in my college days. Today music is my company as I tap the keys on my computer.

Yes, for me music helps to absorb what I am studying. I like listening to any music, while I am doing anything. Just like listening to music while surfing the internet, and even going to bed I can't sleep without listening to music until I fall asleep and wake up with it. Music is my best company when I am alone as well, specially when I am stressed with something it helps it eases it.

I like to listen to music very much and it's with me almost all day long. But during my studing I didn't listen to music. Every time I tried to prepare for my exams with music I caught myself singing the song I was listening and not learning rules. I couldn't concentrate with music. The same with reading: I prefer to read in a silence. But I love to listen to music before falling asleep. It helps me to relax.

I have to say music helps me in absorbing the things I study. I tend to relate the topic where I am at to the music being played at the very moment. So, I guess, it helps but then there are different strokes for different folks.

Study with music is really fun :) , I love hear soft music play behind at very low volume, it keeps me refreshed. Music makes me feel I am not alone and have some company with me at studies lolz. Even better I don't feel sleepy and tired while studying when music is played in the background. I don't know weather I absorb better when I am studying with music in the background, but it certainly helps me study for a longer lengths of time :)
