<p>o7 guys,</p>

<p>Unique post today, I am almost done with my homework, and it's after midnight over here. It seems that with football practice and AP/Honors HW, I am getting 4-6 hours of sleep a night. This is getting well, quite tiring (lol).</p>

<p>Any tips or ideas on managing time for effectively, as I am going to crash soon if I don't change my sleep schedule, right now I'm fine, but I may not be in a week. You adults can do this like a pro, how do you do it?</p>

<p>When my kids were in high school, they found they got their homework done faster if they TURNED OFF their cell phone and used something like STAY FOCUSED on their browser: <a href=“StayFocusd - Block Distracting Websites - Chrome Web Store”>StayFocusd - Block Distracting Websites - Chrome Web Store. In college, when they need to write a paper or study for an exam, they do the same thing. It’s amazing how much more productive you are when you are not distracted by text messages, emails, facebook or other interruptions.

<p>^ Excellent suggestion. I have people sometimes send messages with all the social apps that exist nowadays, and turning it off has helped quite abit. I really need to work on managing time I think. I generally get home at around 6, due to football practice, and I generally only have 4 hours to do my homework, eat, and shower. This passes by quickly and I sometimes require more. I think it’s simply time management, and I can only get better over time.</p>

<p>^^ And one of the first sites you should block as you start doing your homework is College Confidential, as it’s just as much a time-sucker as facebook!</p>

<p>lol, will do. Will only log on periodically from now on.</p>

<p>4 to 6 hours of sleep not enough for you, especially doing strenuous sports. The AAP recommends 8.5 to 9.5 hours per night for a teenager. </p>

<p>You might say that you “can’t” get that much sleep but that is nonsense. Teenagers are lately hurting themselves with sleep deprivation because their priorities are severely distorted.</p>

<p>Get some sleep.</p>
