How did you motivate yourself to study for the SIE?

Having difficulty with the SIE, especially the parts on bonds and broker regulations. I was staying up until 3 AM to get the 3 hours in (plan was to study 3 hours a day for 2 months) until my energy just hit the floor. I did almost nothing for the last 2 days because I needed to take care of my health. I finished a practice test 2 days ago and got a 48%. Not bad I guess for 11 hours of studying.
