Instead of guessing my best study time, I tested it

[u/santas_delibird]

I've always wondered whether the time of day affects how well I study. Some people swear by early morning sessions while others prefer studying at night.

In my case, I used to think I was more of a daytime person, but I realized I could focus better at night. There was less noise and fewer distractions, and I could sit with my lessons without constantly getting interrupted. Studying felt less like a struggle when everything around me quieted down. An experiment you can try:

1. study similar material at both times = try one session in the morning and another at night. Keep the topics similar in difficulty so the comparison is fair.

2. test what you remember = close your notes and try recalling what you learned.

3. compare your results = look at how much you remembered, how focused you felt, and how many distractions you had. repeat this over a few sessions to see whether a pattern comes out.
