The time of day heavily influences your brain’s ability to learn and your brain learns more effectively at night
If night-time is when you feel like you are most productive, or when you have time to study, then don’t panic. Just as there are plenty of positives for studying during the day, there are various reasons why night-time is the best time to study for some.
The most obvious advantage of studying at night is the abundance of peace and quiet you have. Night-time is when people are more relaxed, quiet and contemplative. That environment can be exactly what some people need to get into the right headspace for study.
