You want your study place to be somewhere you can be comfortable for long periods of time. Your special study place should have a flat surface, which is at a comfortable height, and which has ample room for books, writing paper, reading lamp, supplies, etc. A desk or kitchen or dining room table are good possibilities. A living room coffee table is probably too low to be comfortable and maybe too small to provide room for necessary materials. Lying on a couch or a bed while trying to study is a bad idea because you don't have a good support surface.
Indirect sunlight is best.
Next best is a combination of fluorescent and incandescent light. Poor lighting, such as insufficient light or excessive glare, can discourage your studying without you even being aware that the bad lighting is at fault. Your study place should have a minimum of distractions. Distractions will interfere with the quality of your study Time , which is the second of the three basic ingredients for good studying. For most people, television, even in the next room, is a definite no-no.
