Optimise the Time You Study

Creating the right study environment for you

Can be helpful for: individuals wanting to optimise their learning, anyone who is easily distracted or experiences sensory differences

How To Optimise Your Studying

When you’re trying to arrange learning sessions:

  • Try and ensure that you’re planning to learn at the best time of day/night to suit your learning of that kind of material
  • Consider at what time your energy levels are best
  • Ensure it’s a time when you won’t be distracted
  • Ensure that you’ll have enough time to learn at your own pace

What’s the Science Behind the Right Environment for Learning?

Neurodiverse individuals often face challenges trying to adapt to a neurotypical world. Instead, focus on creating a learning environment that works for you. Align your study sessions with your natural rhythms—if you’re a night owl, studying in the evening may be ideal. Tailoring your environment and timing to your needs can make learning more effective and enjoyable.
