Algorithm Memorization

[JTW2007]

So, I just had a bizarre, random question: I find that I memorize algorithms and learn techniques best in the early morning (1 am-4 am), but I cube best in the middle of the day. Has anyone else experienced similar phenomena, and can anyone provide an explanation of why this may be?

i cube better at times in the after noon but i memorize olls 1 a day like at 9 am not 1-4 am..

Are there any other factors? what else do you do at/before these times?

 

[JTW2007]

Not much. I pretty much have dinner and then go cube from 10 pm-3ish am. Sometimes I listen to music, and sometimes I cube standing up, but other than that, no other factors.

do you drink anything with caffeine after dinner?

I usually try and learn mine after breakfast so I have all day to practice then they are sunk in by the time I go to sleep.

When do you sleep?!? LOL

No, not really. And I manage to get sleep from whenever I stop to around noon. I'm pretty much nocturnal.

Woah, that's awesome.

Maybe you are not disturbed when you cube at night?

In my case I really hate cubing after 6 pm. That is because sun light isn't enough for me and artificial light just creates wierd shadows on the cube which affect color recognition.

It's the same with me, but I cube anyway. I have a pretty nice fluorescent light above my desk so it makes it pretty good without ruining color recognition.

Me too. I have trouble getting sub-20 without at least some natural light, which is why I just do algs at night.

I am having trouble learning full PLL. Does anybody have any tips to make it easier to learn algs? I would really appreciate some help!
