I hope that I've posted this in the right subforum, and that it's not a repeat. I did my best to check, but sorry if I made a mistake anyway.
Anyway, do you personally find that you study a language more efficiently at specific times of day? I've made it a habit of studying right after school. For whatever reason, I feel it's a good cool-down for my brain to review whatever I last learned right after a long, hard day at school. I also wake up in the mornings on weekends sometimes and have the urge to study. Usually, I'll retain everything I read within the first twenty minutes or so- which is good for me, because I'm very bad at retaining information about languages, sadly. >>
Anyone study at a specific time of day, or find that it's more effective to study at a certain time? Looking forward to your answers! ^^

Two o'clock in the morning. Never fails. It's also when my muse decides to wake me up for a poetry lesson, frankly. xD

I think that studying for anything is more effective right before you sleep, so that when you do fall asleep, your brain gets to connect everything better and makes you memorize what you have studied right before sleeping.

I memorize much better when I study after I have breakfast on weekend mornings. If its weekdays, I usually study in the evenings.. It seems to be working fine for me ^^

If I have a free day, I usually find it helps to go to the gym in the morning and study when I get back. As well as being motivated, it also makes me too tired to move from my desk.

I have heard two things about the time of day in which to study:
1. Study in the evening, that way your mind sorts it out during your sleep.
I have tried this myself, and I do not know whether or not it was the time of day that I had chosen to study, or the fact that I actually studied, that helped me, but I think I knew all of the lines that I had to recite by the next morning.
2. Study right after you wake up.
I guess this would mean that you should do some of the usual morning stuff the night before, such as set out your outfit for the next morning and take a shower at night instead of the morning (if you do not already). I was told that when you wake up and study, you haven't had the chance to think about much else, so that gives more room for the information you are looking over to seep in. I have not tried this method, and I do not know how psychologically sound that is.
Edit: I guess you could say both, even. The more you familiarize yourself with information, the better you will retain it. ninja

And i listen to a lot of music in my target languages x3 I really think night works for me, i sleep well actually after relaxing and reading, doing lessons, etc.

Mm, that totally sounds about right. XD Lately I can't motivate myself to study. I'd study before bed like I used to, but I have to take meds to go to sleep these days, so I get *loopy* before I get a chance to do any reading, lol. xd

When I was in high school, I found it is much easier to me to memorise vocabulary and some grammar of foreign languages while I was studying another subject (mostly literature and civics) with the rest of the class, than in any other place or hour.

I find you can learn more than one language at a time by studying at different times of day. I have to make a schedual for myeslf though, or I won't get it right...
But having a uniform time to study helps prep your brain and puts it on an internal clock that expects that language to be learned at that time.
Oh, and try and study something else inbetween languages like math or science. That way the information has less of a chance to blur into one another.

I have no schedule.
The only consistant thing I do is listen to music in either German or Swedish as I fall asleep so that it infiltrates my brain...... ninja

I find that I do better when I study at noon or evening.
When I'm tired, I sometimes just put on a CD and just listen to it as a refresher and help with remembering things that I have already learned but might of forgotten.

Studying? me? No.
I use LingQ, watch online TV in the languages I'm studying, read comics, newspapers, listen to music, blog, chat, and do other things that aren't studying, use online resources and referencing my textbooks, phrasebooks, dictionaries etc as well.
