In recent years, there has been a democratization of technical higher education in Brazil in the recent years and with it an increase in the number of young people who face the double journey of work and study. The daily burden of study work has led to consequences both physical and mental health of these young people, as well as the quality of training. Like this, we seek with this work to investigate the effect of the double workday and study in the memory of young women. Participated in the study 30 women, students of a course professional technician at night. The participants were divided into two groups, a group with students who had work activity of more than 6 hours daily and another group of students who had no work activity. The research was carried out in three evaluation days. On the first day, a questionnaire was applied to identify the subject, second day the questionnaire to identify the chronotype, and on the third day the test was applied Rey's verbal auditory learning. Scores were compared between groups and results showed that the double journey does not influence the tested memory from Rey's verbal auditory learning test. Our sample consisted of a group of women living in a small city when compared to capitals, and additionally, the average daily workload is very small, this may favor a longer break time between the activity of working and studying, the that may have influenced our results.
