Question: I cant study without noise around me!? I want the TV on, is this bad!?
I do get very solid marks, but Im wondering if my marks could be that much better if I 100% focus on my work and not want the TV light or sound in the back!.

When I do my essays, I usually like to browse and see sports scores, anything really online!. Does this happen to anyone, and would I be wise to just force myself to read all the time!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

It just means you grew up with noise and adjusted to it!. I have a friend who lived on the edge of a very noisy highway with trucks bumper to bumper!. He lived there for 22 years and slept well!. The county made a new bypass highway and closed off traffic to the one by my friends house!. He couldn't sleep anymore!. It was too quiet!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's not bad, if I have to do things without noise I can force myself, but it's harder!. I think it might be attention deficit related because in school when it's quiet I'll often refrain from doing my homework until I can get home because I can't focus!. I think you just do what I do, put the t!.v!. on so I focus more on what I'm doing than on what's t!.v!. because it gives me something to ignore!. What's better though, is switch it to music, I'd try with lyrics but usually just music without lyrics is best because than your mind isn't focusing on the words and the noise is just made into the background and you can focus on what you're doing with more focus than a t!.v!. can provide and more focus than you'd have w/o the noise!.

Goodluck, you're fine, just try to keep focus, it's hard I know, but you got it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This need for noise can be a symptom of attention deficit!. But since you have good grades, it isn't a problem then, I guess!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If it's working for you, go ahead and do it!. Maybe - subconsciously- you remember your facts by associating it with whatever's on TV!. : )Www@QuestionHome@Com

i use to study with the tv on!. i tried to study in a quiet room and i couldn't concentrate!. I passed all my tests!. go for it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
