Successful people make up a routine of waking up early before sunrise and go to sleep after the sun goes down. According to research, between 10 p.m to 2 a.m you can get the most regenerative and deep sleep. After 2 a.m sleep lacks the quality you need and sleep become more superficial. Chronically depriving you of the quality sleep which you can get between 10 p.m to 2 a.m and makes you even more tired than you went to bed.
The human body is made to stay awake during day time and sleep at night, which is why hours after sunset your melatonin starts to rise. This is the time your body is telling you to go to bed. At midnight melatonin level reaches its highest value after that it starts to decrease.10 p.m is when your body reacts as a result of the increment in melatonin level. This period in your sleep cycle brings along the more intense metabolic activity. This one is responsible for the repair and restoration of the whole body. In order to take place this 10 p.m reactions, your body needs to take rest which results in the reduction of your mental and physical activity. Studies show that if you go to sleep after 10 p.m you find it difficult to sleep and in the morning your body will not be that active as it should be.

First, have a proper sleep, then study.
Islamic Teachings on Waking Up Early
What science told us today after research, Islam teaches us that 1400 years ago. It is Sunnah of our Prophet Muhammad PBUH to wake up for Tahajjud that is around 2 a.m.
In the Quran, Allah says that
"Perform the Salat (Prayer) from midday till the darkness of the night, and recite the Qur'an in the early dawn. Verily, the recitation of the Qur'an in the early dawn is ever witnessed (attended by the angels)." [Qur'an 17:78]
Another place Allah SWT says that
"We erased the sign of the night and made the sign of the day visible" (Qur'an 17:12)
Unfortunately, we made the sign of the night more visible than the sign of day by staying up all night and sleeping most during the day.
