During the afternoon, body temperature and alertness tend to rise again after a midday slump. This can be a good time for reviewing material or engaging in more challenging tasks.

This time frame is often ideal for creative thinking and brainstorming. The brain is still active but not overly fatigued, allowing for innovative ideas and insights.

Establishing a consistent study routine, whether it's in the morning, afternoon, or evening, can be more important than the specific time.

Ultimately, the best time to study is when you feel most alert, focused, and able to concentrate. Some people are "morning people," while others are more productive later in the day.

Prioritizing sufficient, quality sleep is essential for optimal cognitive function and memory retention. Avoid sacrificing sleep for late-night study sessions.
