I've just found out why some people can't study without listening to music

It's because of dopamine levels your body produces during the two activities

A THREAD:
1.Most of the time when listening to music your body releases high amounts of dopamine which basically makes you desire to do something because of the energy you have received from the dopamine boost
2.We all know reading can be boring and that's because your body releases a low amount of dopamine while doing it and so likelihood of doing it for long is very small because you don't have a desire to do it
3.And now comes the situation when you mix the two of them
You are essentially doing two things simultaneously, one releasing HIGH amounts of dopamine and the other LOW amounts so that balances out and keeps you interested on the 'boring' stuff which is studying
4.This can be applied to many things you do, not only studying

Doing work while listening to music.....
Doing chores while listening to music.....
Exercising while listening to music.....
Among others
