I agree with this. I often revise frequently in intense 60-90 minute spurts, can't keep concentration well much longer than that.

I was once sleeping in a locked room (locked from outside). When I woke up, I was in a different room. HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?

I want back to the room I was sleeping in: still locked :redface:

A day before mocks #merightnow...haha jk, its all about the feeling. I never pressurise myself if I don't want to because that never works with me. Thinking of the consequences and the fear of failure pushes me. Initially I used to study in night when everyone is sleeping but considering health now I start around 11ish in morning. Switching off my phone and keeping it out of my sight helps me concentrate. Also I do productive work when sitting on my yoga mat, if you wana bang revise don't ever ever go near your bed.

I always eat right after, but I'm pretty awake for several hours after. I only get sleepy late afternoon so it works out well.

I have absolutely awful concentration though, no matter what. I have the attention span of a 2 year old.

:lol:

When I broke my nose, the sleep wasn't very deep, so I could here 3 cracks. ouch :redface:
At some odd time in the night.:lol:
Like sometimes I'd wake up and want to do work. :rofl:
In my dreams.
I always work best first thing in the morning. After about 3 or 4pm my concentration levels really wane. After 7pm there's no hope of me getting any work done
Early morning. Kinda brings out memories of me revising during breakfast for my GCSEs, an hour before the exam!
Early morning if I can get out of bed.
