I Tried Studying at Night to Make Up for a Late Morning – Here’s What Happened

 



Some days don’t start as planned. My alarm rang, but I slept through it, waking up late and losing my morning study time. To make up for it, I decided to study at night.

My Night Study Plan

  • 8:30 PM - 10:30 PM: Study session
  • 10:30 PM - 11:00 PM: Coffee and a shower to stay fresh
  • 11:00 PM - 11:30 PM: A short nap to recharge
  • 11:30 PM - 2:30 AM: Another study session

It seemed like a good idea at the time. The night was quiet, distractions were fewer, and I felt productive.

The Next Morning: Reality Check

But when the sun rose, I felt completely exhausted. My mind was slow, my energy was low, and even simple tasks felt difficult. Though I had studied well at night, the next day was wasted because I couldn’t function properly.

What I Learned

  1. Night study works, but it drains energy for the next day.
  2. Mornings are still the best for consistent study.
  3. Losing sleep affects focus more than missing a few hours of study.

Final Verdict

I managed to study, but the exhaustion wasn’t worth it. Instead of fixing my sleep, I just shifted the problem to the next day. Lesson learned—it's better to fix the morning than to stay up all night.

Have you ever tried night studying? Did it work for you?

Title: Breaking the Cycle of Regret – Turning Fear into Fun in NEET Prep!

Image by  Sasin Tipchai  from  Pixabay Last night, I made a mistake—studied late, thinking I'd wake up early to continue. Instead, I overslept till 9:20 AM, ruining my entire day. The regret hit hard, but my parents’ scolding made it worse. Frustrated, I stumbled upon a video by Ali Abdaal on overcoming procrastination and achieving more in less time. That video changed my perspective. The morning was full of self-doubt: Do I really want to be a doctor? Is NEET even worth it? Should I have taken Maths instead? The fear of failure and judgment had trapped me in a cycle of overthinking. But I realized—it was my amygdala making NEET seem like a life-or-death threat. And I refuse to let fear paralyze me anymore. NEET is the gateway to my dream, but I’m making these last 80 days fun and challenging. There are other opportunities too—IISER, NISER, biotech, research—but I won't let them slip away either. With NEST registrations opening soon , it’s time to take control! Key...
