When do you most effectively study?

[Maz]

Hey humans
Just out of general curiosity, what time do you think you are most productive, and what time/and in which circumstances
do you most effectively and efficiently study?

I'll go first: I study best at night, when everyone else at home is asleep (despite my very little sleep, I am definately not a morning person. Like I am awake really early, just not in a study mode (it needs to be at least 8-8:30 for that to happen )
I also study best in complete quiet, without music, and in a closed room

During trials I just studied in my bed

During my HSC block I studied with friends in the library.

Most of my study is done in the day. Latest I'd go to is 9:30 PM with the exception of helping a mate out with a question (which goes to until I feel like sleeping)


But now that I'm at uni, I don't even know anymore

I actually can't study during the day - too many distractions. That doesn't mean I don't study at all during the day; it just means I'm learning very little, if any.

Honestly, my study productivity is inversely proportional to the amount of sunlight there is. Sleep is done during the night, classes are during the day. Anyone see the problem?

For my HSC study block I studied all day, starting from like 10am, I liked a bit of a sleep in  I did practice papers in a locked room in silence, if I was doing something a little less intensive (studying with palm cards, using notes, brainstorming, etc) then I rocked a bit of music, but most of my study in that period was past papers anyway

I'm much different now, I do a lot very late at night (those in the English forums will be used to getting feedback on an essay at 1, 2, once even 3 in the morning  ). I study best at night now, less people to distract me. I still prefer silence for past papers, I've started listening to Podcasts while writing notes for Uni

Lots of people say that it's easier to focus on studying during the night. I don't see what's wrong with studying during the day though, is it more noisy or is it the light which disrupts people or what?

Nearly any time. I prefer to study in the mornings because it's just me, no noise and I've had breakfast/showered/etc. Only time I can't study is when I'm hungry or in the few hours immediately after getting home because there's something not right about getting home from school and then... doing more school. That ain't me fam .

I study the best in the late afternoon- so around 4ish, however anything up to 10 is prime for me

Study best at a desk, radio on in the background (BBC News has caught my fancy of late), with my trusty laptop, between 10pm and 4am when no one else is up.

A fellow night owl...same
Except I can't do noise unless it's maths and I'm not haveing to think about it, but then if you get to the point where you aren't thinking...is there really a point studying that? No
So I end up being in silence

Mah prime time is 12-1AM - if its any subject but English I'd put on some calm but upbeat tunes (always have music, unless its a practice sac/exam)
I can't study when im a room and the door is open. No idea why but the door has to be closed

Same, it bugs me when the door is open, and then my sister is the opposite and has to have it wide open

Door has to be closed 

I'd say most effective late nights but not too late probably best  from 9pm - 12.30am anything later and i'll get sidetracked.

Early morning when everyone's sleeping (but it's soooo cold these days in the morning) or going to the library where I'm free from distractions

How do you all find when your optimum studying time is?
I just seem to sit at my desk procrastinating on platforms such as facebook, youtube, atar notes;
regardless of what time of day, it happens all day.
How do you know when you most effectively study?
