Each person has a time of day when they are more willing and this happens because each cycle of life has a circadian rhythm different. For this reason, a study published in the Economic Journal, carried out by a public university in the United Kingdom, analyzed which times university students had the more active brain.

The circadian rhythm is based, above all, on daylight. It works like an internal clock that makes each one's body respond to daylight. This rhythm has influence from your hormone production and digestive system, to your reasoning ability. Therefore, it is possible to conclude that your brain reaches peak energy when it manages to align with your circadian rhythm.
The energy peak of each phase
A 5-year survey published in the Economic Journal by university researchers public in the United Kingdom, came to some conclusions about the brain of each stage of life with the rhythm circadian.
According to research, teenagers tend to have their circadian rhythm delayed and therefore, they are more energetic in the afternoon. However, the tendency is for this rhythm to happen earlier and earlier over the years, especially after the first 20 years. Research further confirms that college students are typically most active in the early afternoon.
The study
Researchers Alessio Gaggero and Denni Tommasi used the University of Granada, in Spain, and the University of Bologna, in Italy, as their base. More than 50,000 anonymous students, both undergraduate and graduate students from these universities, had their grades analyzed.
The research analyzed students distributed in different shifts so that each of them could take the exam once a day. The scores on these exams ranged from 0 to 100, which made it more objective to analyze what time of day college students got their peak brain energy.
The early afternoon scores were higher than at any other time, and this increase became even more evident compared to January mornings, where sunlight is less.
The effect of daylight was more pronounced on tests of logical reasoning and students over 20 years old performed better in the morning than younger ones.
