    I can't revise at night. That's my 'procrastinate, do nothing and listen to music' time. The latest I tend to revise until is about 7 pm.

    I start when I can be bothered to get out of bed and then finish when I'm tired. At night though I have to be actually doing something like a past paper, and not going through notes otherwise I'd fall asleep.

    I can't work effectively past 11pm but I never go beyond 12AM unless I'm doing coursework and I'm behind.

    My most productive time is probably 7:00pm - 12:00pm.

    I find it very difficult to work during the middle of the day for some reason. I think it's because I find it unnatural to be stuck inside studying when the sun is out.

    Im revising for upcoming a level exams, and I find that I am most productive during the evenings. During the day, i'll wonder around and get distracted - i'll even find myself sitting watching cbeebies (siblings) for the sake of it . I'll find any excuse not to revise during the mornings/afternoon but then in the evening BAM im alive and will work so hard. So i'd say, about 8pm-1pm.

    I've come home, studied through the night, and gone straight back to college the next day without sleep. Now THAT is commitment.

    Normally between 7pm-2am since there's nothing to distract me and normally much happier and less sleepy/groggy with less sleep :P

    it does make me a bit bonkers during exams but it generally works

    When I was at 6th form I was never any use past 9pm, really. I need time to relax before sleep too, I can't just go work-sleep cos my brain is too busy.

    Lately I've been pulling off all-nighters if I haven't revised much during the day. However, my productivity varies from night to night. My most productive time is around 5am-9am, but I find it difficult to wake up that early, so all-nighters it is!

    your friend might have got 4 A's but he can't be very strong ... testosterone (the body's natural muscle building steroid) is released during deep sleep (REM state) which takes like an hour to get into!

    so if your friend's sleep is disruted twice every day hes losing ~2 hours of hormone release every night
