Learning has ideal times, too.

The ideal times for learning have been revealed. Did you know these time slots?

Scientists researching the best times to learn say that learning is most effective in the morning between “07:30 and 11:00,” when alertness hormones such as cortisol are released at their highest levels.

These hours have also been shown to be the most productive for planning, organizing and generating constructive, forward-looking ideas.  That said, this will certainly vary from person to person. So here are a few tips on how to find your own ideal timing…

1. At what times do I understand things more easily when I study, and when do I struggle? Write down the answer to this question.
2. Your brain is rested for the 2 hours after you wake up, so make sure you get regular sleep.
3. Nutrition is also very important, because hormones kick in after you eat something, such as breakfast or a snack.

Is that all? Not quite. Here comes a BONUS.

Between “16:00 and 18:00” your attention level rises as well, because the brain opens its long-term memory channels. That makes any review you do during these hours, whether for important topics, meetings or even exams, effective and efficient. We say make the most of these hours.
