Lacking motivation during and after xmas is just normal. This is probably making you feel stressed because you feel you are going no where / not productive hence why you are not sleeping.

The best thing I can advise is simply to make a time table...down to every hour. Give yourself 30 minute breaks ever 1.5 hours or what ever. Write everything down, reading won't work! If you working off slides, elaborate on points or make a paragraph out of them. I personally cannot learn from slides what so ever.

Best of luck with it

My method, take my notes, summarise each section onto no more than 2/3 A4 sheets and don't go back to book/folder notes again. And I've work 3-7 today Late night ahead

I'm sure there probably will be. I was planning on staying at home and only heading up for my exam tuesday but our pipes have been frozen here for 2 days so I'm just gonna have to head up to my college house just to take a flipping shower haha. Might head into college to study tomorrow if i get nowhere at the house, which i probably won't.
