Improve Your Reaction Time

Reaction time is trainable. Here is what actually works:

• 1. Test daily: 5 minutes a day beats one long weekly session.
• 2. Sleep 7–9 hours: one bad night can cost you 30–50 ms.
• 3. Warm up your hands: cold fingers are slow fingers.
• 4. Kill distractions: silence notifications before testing.
• 5. Use a wired mouse: wireless adds real latency.
• 6. Higher refresh rate: 120 Hz+ displays show the green sooner.
• 7. Stay hydrated: even mild dehydration slows cognition.
• 8. Don't guess: anticipating the signal creates fouls, not speed.
• 9. Play reaction games: aim trainers and rhythm games transfer well.
