Is it better to stay up late or wake up early?

Question

Which way would keep me the most awake and concentrated. For example: I usually put off studying for a test till the last minute. Would it be better for me to study till 1 am and wake up at 5 am or for me to go to bed at 10 and wake up at 3 am?

Answer 1

It really depends on how your body can adjust the time slots. You know your body better than anyone else. Can you focus till 1am , then sleep? In other words are you a night or day person? I know I am night person, I think and I am most creative at night. I cant wake up and be ready to focus to study in the AM. Perhaps you might.

"Is it better to stay up late or wake up early?" That's a question you can answer by asking your self - Am I a day or night person.

Answer 2

I prefer getting up early since I'm a morning person, so I usually sleep early and get up early.



But everyone's different. You should try both methods and use whichever you think is better. I personally think that if I study too late into the night, I forget everything I was studying

Answer 3

I say stay up late, but my gf says you should go to bed early and at least get 8 hrs of sleep. Because when you go to sleep your body is re pairing itself from all the damage that was done during the day, and its important to have that healing time

Answer 4

i think waking up early is better. it starts the day out. on the other hand, if you stay up really late at night, you might feel rushed and over worked.

but if you wake up early, have a nice breakfast and take a slow nice morning, then you will feel more prepared and alert.

Answer 5

Study BEFORE you sleep. That way you can dream about the stuff you learned and it won't seem so foreign. If you wake up and try to study you will just be sleepy.

Answer 6

stay up late

Answer 7

go to bed already

Answer 8

That's a good question.
