Does playing chess at night affect how you play?

I already know that playing chess in the middle of the night is not really that good for your health but I just want to know if playing it at night affects how you play the game.

I am not sure, I am pretty new to the game of chess. I am learning it as much as I can, mostly in my free time. I am currently a college student, and I recognize at this point of my life I am able to learn things at a much higher level than any other time in my life. I have been playing most of the day, and will be learning other mid-game moves for most of the night. I am not normally phased by studying at night so I believe that I will most likely have the same output at night as I do during the daytime.

I think I'm better, and there's a reason for that.

I'm more active and attentive and speed through games more quickly. In the daytime, games are sorta slow and I get burnt out really quickly the minute I lose a single game; but doing tasks at night such as playing chess gets you more invested and focused on what you're doing. There's scientific backing to this, but I cant remember very clearly-- something with lighting's effect on the brain, temperature, and genetics though.

Depends on your on biorhythm and internal clock.

I think it depends. Some people are night people and function best during night hours; others are day people. Interestingly, the traditional time for one game/day in the USCF open started at 7:00 p.m. These are games that can last up to 6 hrs.

For some people, it might be the opposite.

Alaska only has 6 good months of chess a year?!

Awesome comment

Playing at night for me is actually relaxing. Playing chess allow you to completely focus on what you are doing, tuning out all distractions. One or two ten minute games - all I need to unwind at the end of a day and go right to sleep.

SO MANY ADULTS HELP

Well yeah, chess is a mainly adult game. What did you expect

"Well yeah, chess is a mainly adult game. What did you expect" LMAO

You are at the US Chess and could say something that not true!! In the last 12 months, nearly 75% of the active players in US Chess tournaments have been juniors. With 100,000 members and over 55,000 active juniors each month.

Go to US chess home, then top player list and pick any member under 18. it will show what they are fo all the juniors in the country. Go to an adult member and it will show you what number they are compared to all the active players for the previous month. Kids Rule!! SLMAO 

yes, playing chess is generally known to affect your performance, although really it depends on the person and their schedule, some people play better at night than others.
