My GMAT exam is finally coming up August 23rd. I scheduled it for 8:00 AM.
Usually I would consider myself to be a night owl. I think that my mental awareness unfortunately reaches its peak at 10 PM. I've got the impression that this is daylight related. The darker a room is, the easier it is for me to concentrate.
Usually, when I get up in the morning I feel rather groggy. I still didn't schedule the exam in the afternoon, as I usually get tired in the afternoon hours. As I cannot write the exam at midnight, I thought 8:00 AM is the better bet, as I at least won't fall asleep during the exam

I am taking 10 days off work before the exam to adjust my sleep cycle a little bit. I am planning to go to bed at 10 PM and get up at 6 AM, so that I have 2 hours before the actual exam to fight the groggyness.
Is there maybe someone else out there who has similar problems, a preference towards night times and managed to find a way to get rid of the morning groggyness?
I tried going for a run very early in the morning, cold shower, Red Bulls right before a practice exam but so far I haven't found a solution.
Any tip is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin
