Which is better – early morning study or late nightouts?
There have been many arguments and counter arguments over which time of the day is better for studies. There have been students who study late in to night and excel in their chosen vocations while another group of students get up early and do equally well in their studies. On of the studies conducted at Texas University revealed that early risers on an average scores better than their other group, who sleeps late. The study was conducted on 824 under grad students. The results opened the possibilities that to get better grades students should get up early.
The results did not pass any judgment on brain functioning, rather, it was found that early risers were able to attend their classes, did not attend any late night drinking binges and were comparatively more regular in their studies. But American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) spokesman Dennis Nicholson, MD, stated that it is very difficult to convert night out die hards in to early birds. The finding were even presented in SLEEP 2008, a joint venture of AASM and the Sleep Research Society. The hostel or dorm life is such that very few students can maintain their regimen and sooner or later they all become night owls.
However, the findings by postgraduate student Martin Sale and his colleagues from the University of Adelaide reveal that brain work best in the evening and nights. Their research specifically mentions time-of-day variations about brain functioning. The researchers employed magnetic coils to stimulate nerve activity in the brain. The results proved that larges changes and simulations were induced during evenings. This is also evident from lifestyle of creative people like authors, coders, painters etc who work late in to nights and get up late.
The study and the earlier survey reveal that in order to have success in your academic life you need to strike a balance. Though mind works best in the night but too much in to the late nights can play havoc with your class schedules and regimen. During weekdays or when you are having your classes the next day, avoid studying late in to nights. However, once you graduate and have chosen your vocation, you will be better served by sitting late and awakening your creative imageries.

No doubt very helpful for the readers! Most of the posts in the blog sparks some great knowledge… Thanks for the information!
cool very informative blog
thanks
Excellent blog
My personal opinion sleep @ 11 and wake up @ 4 it is the best practice for students and rising @ 5 is best for health
Possible reason: Those early risers study during evenings till the time they went to bed. On the next morning, they continue their studies again.
