Jobs with Strange Hours and Studying

Is there anyone here with a job that has lots of afternoons/evenings and less business hours? If so, how are you dealing with this?

I think @LSATcantwin and @"Cant Get Right" could help you on this!

Most weekdays I work 9:00 am - 7:30 pm.

I study in the morning before work for 1-2 hours. I'm usually way too burnt out after a day of work to come home to do much productive studying.

My weekends are vital for getting PTs and extended study sessions in.

That's sort of late. Do you bring dinner to work? I'm really trying to reorient myself to morning study, as this is my best best as well most days but I'm struggling with winter hibernation and somewhat late shifts.

I usually order dinner via uber eats/seamless or wait until I get home to eat. I really think it's best to study before work if at all possible, because I've noticed an extreme difference with respect to the quality of my study. I guess it may depend on your job though. I definitely study after work too, but I try to save that for reviewing things.

@"Alex Divine", Yes, there are energy dips following busy days for sure.

I work 3pm-11pm, just got off of 3 work days in row where I worked from 7pm-7am. Trying to get my sleep pattern back to getting up early in the morning so Im ready for this Saturday.

@"Paul Pederson", I'm in similar shoes with the scheduling challenges. I'll be thinking about you on Saturday.

I usually work 4:30 AM - 1 PM, so in my opinion, it is best when I study after work

I agree it depends on the nature of your work. I always studied at night, but my job is not mentally challenging, so it worked out. Sounds like you would be better served studying in the am. I think it's crucial to treat studying early like a job. Wake up at the same time, get right to studying. It's easy to be relaxed or unfocused, but that's wasting time.
