Mornings are great because you have had the chance to clear your mind while sleeping

Studying after spending a long day at work or school can actually make it harder for you to retain what you have read. Especially if you had quite an eventful day, you may find yourself reflecting on events as opposed to understanding what you're reading. What ends up happening is you have to read the content more than once to actually comprehend what it's saying. Mornings are great because you have had the chance to clear your mind while you sleep, and are therefore better able to concentrate more on the work at hand.

You're Physically Rejuvenated

Fighting sleep while studying is not a good look

Have you ever tried to study while you are physically exhausted? It's hard isn't it? Fighting sleep all while trying to figure out the derivative or analyze a short story is not a good look. Chances are you'll spend more time thinking about hitting the pillow than actually studying, that is, assuming you don't fall asleep on top of your laptop. Mornings are great because you are at the most energetic level you'll be for the rest of the day. The more energetic you are, the more you are able to concentrate. You get more done because you don't have to pause to take naps, or worry about falling asleep and not studying at all.
