Reading During Testing Season

Hello people, I want to have a short discussion on how to read during testing season which could cause many people, including me, to read a lot less than what they usually do.

During testing season I am usually really stressed and decide to either study or sleep even if I do have time to read. I have trouble reading when I'm stressed even if being surrounded by books calms me down. When I do end up reading during finals or AP testing, I am more distracted when I read so I end up giving lower rating but that's not always about the story but the situation when I read it.

A tip I find helpful is reading when your getting sleepy because it is harder to stress when you want to sleep. You may not get a huge amount of reading done but at least it will be some during this stressful time period.

That is the main tip I use, Let me know if any of you have any more tips on reading during testing season.
