For me it does. Chocolates have the ability to calm nerves and when you're calm, you can think clearly. Whenever I am stress out, chocolates gives me relief but I am very careful about eating too much because it is not also good for my health. Anything that is excessive is bad.

The main food for the brain is glucose and we usually get glucose from carbohydrates that we eat. Chocolate is a carbohydrate, it has a lot amount of sugar in it that can be easily absorbed by the body. These glucose are then transported to the brain that's why it is easily awaken because of the glucose. Chocolates are just the easiest source of glucose and probably the most delicious of all candies so its better to eat it. That's why there are a lot of students who eat chocolates while they are studying because carbohydrates are the primary source of glucose.
