Do you have suggestion?

I don commot my hand for anything staying awake more than 11pm. I did it for three months and nearly broke down.

He could learn it in the day.

He do work in the day,returns home by 6pm
But how did u do it that 3 months? Was it caffeine?

He returns from work by 6pm

It's coffee that will make him stay awake not energy drinks and I won't advise him to do snuffs so it won't affect his mental health.

If he comes in by 6pm, let him rest from 7 - 10pm and wake up to study till 3 - 4am. He can sleep from 3 - 6am before heading off to work.
It's the way you train your system, someone like me can stay awake if I want to, but not all the time cos scientifically, our body needs 7 - 8 hrs sleep everyday to function properly.
