Older adults have 'morning brains': Noticeable differences in brain function across the day
This article cites research that indicates that older people have improved cognitive performance early in the day. This is correlated with greater activation of the brain's attentional control regions, which are the rostral prefrontal and superior parietal cortex.
The implications of this is that older adults should focus on more complex tasks earlier in the morning. Also, we believe that tasks such as reading (i.e. speed and comprehension) is greatly enhanced earlier in the day.
It is also noteworthy that the mentioned neural substrates also have a direct role in the hypnotic process. Thus the further implication is that hypnosis, to include self-hypnosis, would be more productive in the earlier part of the day older adults. This is a hypothesis that should be studied further.
