I have seen many people reading with their ear piece while reading, and these were the reasons
they gave :
they gave :
- it makes them read longer, because they will have to dance etc.. making the reading interesting.
- it takes away sleep especially those that read in the night.
- it prevents you from hearing external noise that may distract.
“Music with lyrics is very likely to have a problematic effect when you’re writing or reading,” said Clifford Nass, professor at
Stanford University. “Probably less of an effect on math, if you’re not using the language parts of your brain.

“Imagine trying to learn something
while you’re on a roller coaster,” Nass said.
“If you’re feeling agitated, you can listen to more calming music, and that will absolutely have a
positive effect.” Glenn Schellenberg, a professor in the psychology department at the University of
Toronto, published a study that indicates fast, loud background music hinders reading comprehension.
“The reason why it’s a mess is you have cognitive limitations. If you’re doing two things at once you don’t focus as well,” he said.
“On the other hand, we know that music changes how you feel, and often it can change how you
feel in a positive way.”

In other words, it seems carefully tailoring the music you listen to while studying, based on the
subject matter and your mood, can help keep you focused — so long as you stay away from lyrics while doing language-based work.

Music has always had its place at college, but as it has become more portable and high quality, it is reaching areas where it never used to take up residence.
“In my day, there was no way you could take music to the library,” Nass said.
“When [today’s students] go to the library to study, they bring their noise, and music, with them.”

In any case, music is very likely better than Facebook and Twitter, and in a world where multitasking has become extremely common
because everything is on one device, some students find music helps keep them focused while studying.
“Especially when music doesn’t have words, it can help me get into the reading and stop me getting distracted by other things,” said Melanie Fineman.
