If you need to give a morning presentation, go to bed and set an alarm for 5 a.m. to cram and review then, rather than staying up late cramming, because you will be refreshed from a full night's sleep with memory primed and tanks full, resulting in much better performance.

“So I tell my medical students, for example, if you have to give a presentation in the morning, go to bed, set an alarm clock for 5 a.m. if you need to, and cram and review and prepare your thing then, because at that point you're going to be refreshed from a good night's sleep. Your memory is going to be primed, your tanks are going to be full, and you're going to perform much better than if you had stayed up late cramming.”
