Study just before sleep is the best study. It allows the brain to make sense and categorize all of the information you just jam packed into your head. Being comfortable in your own environment also makes it easier to study. Being forced to do shit has it's place but don't keep forcing it, it'll break like all things.
I'm not talking about selfishness, I'm talking what she would do if she was in his socks. She would sit on the chair, she would do what's right for her and when you start forcing what's right for you onto other people, problems begin to surface.
