Right time of the day to study has been a topic under scrutiny from many educational enthusiasts since decades. However, the fundamental factor on which we can decide the right time of the day for studies relies on our natural biological clock that our brain and the whole body sets. With this in mind, we have to listen to your body and mind rather than arguing against it. There is always a cycle through which our whole system works, no matter how many books you refer, how hard you try things and how many times you revise topic by keeping the curriculum and references in front.

In Hindu mythology, waking up in ‘Brahmi Muhurtha’ ( 30 minutes before sunrise) is believed to be auspicious and anything we do is by will and wish instead of by force. It is concluded that spending 30 minutes in the morning with books is almost equals to 2 hours in the noon and 3 hours in the evening, hence students can save a lot of time.

For some children, calmness, silence and the darkness of the night brings clarity in their minds. Adding to this, there is some sense of responsibility in the evenings and night because of the homework that needs to be submitted very next day.
