ONE · YOUR BODY

You are strongest in the evening

Your body is strongest late in the day. Researchers have been measuring the same thing for 20 years: muscle strength climbs from morning to evening. A day rave runs straight through that peak, and a 4am room does not.

TWO · YOUR HEAD

You get a second wind at dusk

Late in the evening, just before melatonin kicks in, there are a few hours where it is hard to fall asleep. Thirty-one people in a lab scored better on attention tests then than earlier in the day, even after being awake longer. A day rave ends inside that window.

THREE · YOUR CLOCK

Club light keeps you up later

Melatonin is the hormone that tells your body it is night, and bright light stops your body releasing it. Across 128 studies, two hours of evening light was enough to do that. A club is hours of bright light at the time your body wants to wind down.
