Re: Revsing at nightWhatever suits you. Although I know a lot of people work better in the morning because their mind is fresher from a nights sleep.(Original post by goldstander212)
i really cant work in the day - too much distractions.
so ive decided to revise from 8-12/1ish
is this a wise decision ? -
Re: Revsing at night
It's fine! Whenever you've got time/feel best placed. If you choose to go into the professions, you'll have to revise at night later on because you'll normally be working for a firm via a training contract; law, accountancy, insurance etc. So in some respects, it's good to get used to revising at night

Re: Revsing at night
Yea, sometimes i find it good to revise at night. I sit with my duvet and look over books/make notes and it's actually nice.
I've heard that facts "sink in" when you look at them just before you sleep. I don't know whether that's an old wive's tale though! I suppose it means there are no distractions later in the "day" to make you forget?!
Personally i'd only revise though, wouldn't do a page of maths sums as i think i'd be too "relaxed" for them. -
Re: Revsing at nightThe 'sink in' thing sounds like rubbish to me. It just comes down to how you prefer to work. If you're a morning person etc.(Original post by burgerrr)

I agree with you about doing maths in the day. Subjects where the revision is quite intensive like maths/physics/chemistry etc. requires you to be awake and have a lot of concentration. But if you're reading through a textbook or a book for english it's fine to do it at night.
Whenever you think suits you best. I do really early mornings and it seems to work well so you'll be fine. Whatever floats your boat really.
