    Students who take early morning classes earn higher GPAs than those with later classes, according to a study of students at St. Lawrence University. The study found that while students with later classes get more sleep, they tend to use that extra time to go out and drink alcohol more rather than studying. As a result, the slightly more tired students in early classes perform better academically.

    The Early Bird Gets the A


    Submitted by Doug Lederman on September 8, 2011 - 3:00am Many students say that they avoid early morning classes so they can get enough sleep to do well. But a study [1] by psychology professors at St. Lawrence University, of students there, finds that the assumption of those who favor sleeping in is only partly correct. The study found that those with later classes indeed get more sleep. But those who get more sleep appear to use their rest to go out more and to abuse alcohol more than do other students. So it is the slightly more tired students who are in the early classes who earn higher grade-point averages, the professors found.
