Hey all,

I'm trying to organize and follow a set schedule from now on. So I was wondering what time should one dual n back to maximize cognitive gains. Just as there is an ideal time to exercise, there should be an ideal time for dual n backing. right now I'm N backing right before bed so I'll be so tired I'll easily fall asleep.
