I usually stop around 10, then go to bed at 10.30-11. That is, unless I have coursework or homework to finish.

[MHRed]

I don't like working past 10, I don't find I work at my best, and see no point in forcing myself to carry on after that [it won't stick in my head!].

I'd rather be working early/afternoon. Then maybe an hour or two in the evening, but stop by 9 if possible.

Each to their own though!

I'm at Uni now,

During A Levels I used to start revising around 10.30ish and go on till about 2.30, after which I go to sleep.
Reasons being that I get distracted before that, and I feel easier to concentrate when everyone has gone to sleep and I have the world to myself, and also staying up late in the night gives me a feeling that I'm doing work, though I wasted my whole day before that. lol

No to be honest. He ended up with 4 As in January exam. i don't know how his brain works really.

I follow your friends pattern aswell more or less. Only difference might be that I sleep at 5 and wake up directly at 10. Then sleep again at 4 till school starts. Trust me, it works

[LaEstrella]

I usually do bits from 9.00am until 00.00pm with a fair few breaks, I don't work for the whole time!

For me, it was until I felt tired, so would go to sleep between 1-2am. It was strictly 6 hours/day for me during the weeks leading up to my exams, with 1 or 2 20 min naps during the day.

Seriously, take a nap during the day! For 20 minutes... you'll feel like you have a new brain, and it helps with forming memories and turning your STM (short term memories) into L(long)TMs.

There's an app called Pzizz which puts you to sleep like a baby, and wakes you up shortly after feeling so (SO SO SO!) refreshed and recharged. It's for Android and iOS (as well as Mac and Windows). I'll admit that I was a skeptic and yes, I shamelessly torrented it last year thinking it wouldn't work, but happily paid for it when I realised that it has the power to revolutionise your day and workschedule. Try it!

You've got me intrigued now!
I just downloaded it from the net and will test it shortly

I'm a night owl so I'm only productive late at night. I usually sit and work non-stop from about 11pm until about 3am without and distractions. I'm useless during the day, I will do anything other than revise, literally anything. In fact yesterday I organised my socks into brands and colours.

[Contrad!ction.]

Sometimes I've worked through the night and been a total zombie the next day. I'm beginning to think tonight is going to be one of those nights - I've got a coursework deadline tomorrow and my teacher's just emailed me with a list of improvements I need to make.

I hate coursework.

Normally I go on until about 11 though.

[Breens345]

Can't work past 9pm, my brain just stops working! So have to start revision extra early in the day to get it all in, fuuuuun :/

[sarahlabrosse]

wow, you guys are crazy!

my brain stops working at 7ish...
**** imma fail!

[laurie:)]

im not a night person, so i cant study past, say 10ish, cause i just lose all focus and start falling asleep but im also a mornings person, so i tend to wake up at around 5ish, get some revision done, and then go to school

[BarBaBaBaBarBaBaBa]

Latest I worked was for my Eng Lit coursework till 5 am.

But for revision, latest is 12 am I wish I was superhuman and could work all day and all night.

[emilym94]

I'm at my best from 7pm till around 11pm, i can work in the day but it's a bloody struggle Much prefer working in the evening, everything is a little more relaxed: i've eaten dinner, chilled out doing nothing all day (or college all day) then can get on with some work

[Venomilys]

any time! I can work during the day provided I don't get distracted and I can work at night if I feel I need to. The latter isn't encouraged though.

12pm-5pm....30 mins lunch break in between, am I doing something wrong!?

[blackraven]

I've realised i am able to concentrate and retain knowledge better if i study either at night or really early in the morning. so on weekends, I go to bed at about 4 am studying from about 8 pm (give or take) till 4 am. On weekdays however, I wake up at 4 am and study till about 7pm (because i have to go to school). I generally don't get a lot of sleep (that's just how i am). Recently though, i have had at least one all-nighter a week but that is just because going to sleep is quite difficult for me so i just stay awake.

[Sternumator]

I finished A levels last year but I used to do a similar thing to your friend. I found there was only so much my brain could take in one session before I started to not follow it, lose concentration and get tired. If you sleep even for an hour its like you brain resets again so I started sleeping more than once a day. Now I revise through the night because I really don't like day light when I study so I sleep 9am- 7pm then revise in the night.

[TheatreLovely]

I never work/revise past nine, it's just counterproductive and I can't sleep afterwards.

[DolallyDucky]

It depends on the day and my mood, if I'm working in the evening (which is almost impossible as my family never leave me alone) I'll make sure I stop by around 10. If I leave it later I'll generally have a nap then pick it up from around 10/11 to around 2 in the morning :P

[Crimmy]

erm.... I'm worried about how little I work now.... I work from about 5ish to 8ish with an hour in there for tea, then I read posters I've made in bed before going to sleep at 10.30ish, but still always shattered the next day :/
