Benefits of studying in the morning

Advantages of studying in the night

How to decide on fixing the study hours? 

• Sleep control : Like I said before, if you can control yourself from falling asleep, night is the right time for you to study. But if you can control the exact time to wake up, morning is the best time for you.
• Hobbies: If you have extra curricular activities, then it makes sense to chose the morning option. A tired body can not concentrate. You can complete the home works and writing stuff at night and can study in the morning.
•  Homework and studying: Even if you have chosen morning study hours, it is better to finish homework and writing works at night and study in the morning.

 If you are a parent and wonder about choosing the right time for your kid, do the following:
1. Watch your kid’s sleeping pattern.
2. Make sure he sleeps for 8 hours a day.
3. Decide by observation, if he can control his / her sleep or if he can wake up at the said time.
4. Do a little trial and error and fix the right time to study.
