According to Keith Ablow’s “The Dangers of Cramming”, cramming can do more harm than good because of its negative effects to our mind and body. Such side effects are temporary intellectual lapses which causes a person to lose focus.

Ablow mentions that though students think that stimulants will help them cram, they actually don’t, it actually just “… disguise – briefly – a reduced capacity to grasp, retain, and retrieve information” (Ablow 5). Coffee causes Caffeine Intoxication Syndrome which leads one to have anxiety, panic, headaches, and insomnia. A much stronger stimulant, speed (an amphetamine), causes more severe side effects
