Any Night-owls Here?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I'm at the end of my sophomore year, and I find myself staying up later and later. How late do you guys stay up to do homework and study?</p>

<p>There's several seniros at our school who ahev some pretty strange sleeping habits due to extreme course loads (and our school is competitive...GPA=life for many). I know one guy who sleeps in 30-minute intervals throughout the night and another guy who sleeps from 8PM-midnight (4 hrs!!) and then works up until it's time for school!</p>

<p>What about you guys?</p>

2

<p>Sleep from 1 to 6 AM. The rest is definitely not spent studying...</p>

3

<p>usually i go to bed at 1-2 then every couple of months i decide to crash early like around 8. ugh it all leads back to procrastination for me.</p>

4

<p>2-3am, sometimes I take naps so I start my homework later, so even if I don't have a lot of homework, if I'm tired from the night before I'll still be up late.</p>

5

<p>10-6, how many AP courses are you guys taking? I am currently only taking 2.</p>

6

<p>When the time hits ten, I stop working altogether.
Then I go to bed, providing it is a school night. I sometimes read from 10-11, though. It helps put me to sleep. I will stay out sometimes till 2 or 3 AM on Saturday or Friday night though.</p>

7

<p>I usually go to sleep between 1-2 AM and wake up at 6AM (4-5 hours per night). I require massive amounts of coffee and dew to function properly though.</p>

8

<p>11-5. Definitely not staying up for homework that's for sure (IB courseload)</p>

9

<p>I usually sleep from 12-6. Not all of my time is consumed through homework though.</p>

10

<p>11 pm - 8 am for me, usually. Heh. I get really haphazard sleep cause my legs kick around so much, and it sometimes takes me hours to fall asleep (even when I'm tired) because I can't stop thinking. If I don't get 8 or 9 hours of sleep, though, I feel exhausted the next day.</p>

<p>Junglebrain - what kind of school do you go to that allows you to wake up at 8 AM? Most high schools start between 7 and 8</p>

12

<p>lol i can wake up at 8 AM (thank god for senior year) and get to school on time--the late bell for my school is 8:30 AM (school ends at 3 PM). It's not bad. I remember though that there's someone on this site who mentioned in a post that he starts school at like 10 AM. Lucky...</p>

13

<p>Wow your school starts 45 minutes after mine.. you should consider yourself luck too.</p>

14

<p>Mine starts at 7 40</p>

15

<p>I usually sleep from 1am - 6:30am. Most of my homework gets done between 9pm - 12pm though. My mind is so much more focused, and I usually take a nap when I get home so I can relax my mind before I do my homework.</p>

16

<p>This year I'm convinced that I have become nocturnal. More than one all-nighter has been pulled.</p>

17

<p>Yeah this year for me I've stayed up past 3am more times than I have in the rest of my life combined. The last month or so my usual sleep pattern has been about 2-7am.</p>

<p>"Junglebrain - what kind of school do you go to that allows you to wake up at 8 AM? Most high schools start between 7 and 8"</p>

<p>My school starts at 8:40, which is nice. We get out at 3:18.</p>

19

<p>For me my body can handle it, aside from the weakened immune system. I can go on 3 hours of sleep repeatedly because my adrenaline will kick in and last through the next school day. Plus this week I've been fine getting 5-6 hours a night. During CMU Pre-College I spent six weeks at 4-7 per night.</p>
