I just know when my brain is no longer getting new information. I'm just cycling through the same stuff and not absorbing anything. Also, when I find myself reading the same sentence over and over, I know it's time to call it a night! I usually get up early the next day to finish. A few hours of sleep is better than none!

It's time to take a break or stop for the night when you can barely keep your eyes open or you're struggling to focus and pay attention (like you've read the same paragraph 3 times and you still don't know what you just read).

You should put off or finish studying when you don't feel like you can concentrate for awhile, not because you're hungry or bored but maybe because you can't keep your eyes open and doze off a lot. You deserve to get rest or else you won't be able to remember what you studied as well. :)

Oh great question!
I think making this decision depends on a few different things:
- When are your assignments due?
- How are you feeling? How is your mood, and are you getting enough sleep?
- What sort of progress are you making in your study? Do you feel like you're travelling along well?
I hope this helps! Maybe it could help to chat to a listener and kind of get your whole situation from there :)

Taking breaks every 15 minutes or so while studying helps to be able to concentrate better. It's hard to stay focused on one things for so long, so taking breaks definitely helps. When you feel those breaks are no longer helping and you still can not focus on your work, I think that's when you know it's time to stop for the night, or when you start to become too tired. Being too tired will not help to retain the information you are trying to learn.

There is a point where you should give up studying for the night. Personally, I try to make my cutoff 12AM, but too many times I stay up till 2AM. That is completely unhealthy, and quite frankly dangerous for teenagers, especially. I feel like the time you go to bed is always somewhat personal because your school could let out really late or really early - no one knows your exact situation. In short, make sure that you don't just study the night before, and that you get enough sleep to fully function the next day in school. If you can't stay awake, there's no point in going to school, because you are going to miss everything, and your teachers will not be happy about it.

If you feel like you aren't learning anymore. There is no point in studying if you aren't learning anything.

When you get tired. If you are tired you wont retain anything so it's best to get a good nights sleep and continue in the morning :)

When you feel you are tired and exhausted and can no longer focus your thoughts on where they need to be. Everybody is different. Your body will surely tell you when you when its time to lay down.
