Doctor: Good morning. What seems to be the problem?
Patient: I've been feeling [fi:lɪŋ] tired for weeks. I've also been having headaches almost every day.
D: Have you been sleeping well?
P: No, I haven't been sleeping well at all. I've been waking up several times every night.
D: How long has this been going on?
P: It started about a month ago. I've been working a lot. I've been doing twelve-hour days at the office.
D: Have you been eating well?
P: Not really. I've been eating a lot of fast food because I haven't had time to cook.
D: I think you need to rest more and eat better. I've seen many patients with similar problems. I'll give you a prescription for the headaches.

Releer parece una actividad productiva, pero no es el método más eficaz. Es mejor cerrar la página e intentar recordar lo que acabas de estudiar. El esfuerzo de reconstruir el material de memoria favorece la retención a largo plazo.
