<p>Juniors</p>
<p>Curious - how many hours do you all sleep per day on an average?</p>
<p>Do you think you sleep less due to work or due to procrastination or due to social networking sites etc?</p>
<p>Most of the juniors hardly seem to get more than 6 hours of sleep per day.. Is it a norm as such? Some people feel guilty to sleep early even though they really have no work on certain days:-)</p>
<p>Sleep is so important for academic success and why is it being neglected....</p>
<p>5 hours, i think</p>
<p>anywhere from 12 to 3 hours. I’m pretty messed up.</p>
<p>5-6 hours.
Too much homework and exhausting club activity.</p>
<p>5-6 hours as well. Life sucks.</p>
<p>Usually around 8. (I’m not ■■■■■■■■)</p>
<p>From mid-August to late-October, I was one of those people who procrastinated and fooled around until 10PM or later to start my homework, most of the time because I looked at it and just didn’t feel like doing it. I ended up sleeping everyday from about 2AM - 6AM consistently.</p>
<p>Then at the beginning of November I decided to go ahead in homework – work extra during the weekends so I would have less over the span of the week. I also did as much work as I could during my off periods and in class. I ended up finishing my homework everyday at around 7PM, which gives me 3 hours to fool around and 8-9 hours of sleep, even 10 hours on a late start day.</p>
<p>If you’re struggling to get 6 hours of sleep per day, I suggest you be more efficient and get your homework over with before fooling around. Nothing sucks more than playing games at 8PM and knowing that you’ll be up at 2AM because you haven’t done your work. It ruins the fun.</p>
<p>Btw, I’m only taking three AP classes. If you’re taking 6-8 AP classes and still get 6 hours of sleep per day, you’re a bosssss.</p>
<p>As a junior, I generally got 4 hours of sleep a night. That was with taking five APs in school, two APs online, a dual enrollment class, and a couple really big out-of-school extracurriculars. And trying to have a social life.</p>
<p>5 APs, I get around 7 hours of homework per night.</p>
<p>^Oops. I meant 7 hours of sleep! Maybe 2 hours of homework. :)</p>
<p>It all depends. I really commit myself to my AP biology class, so when ever we have a test, i study a lot. I usually get about 7 hours of sleep, not counting for when i hvae clubs or big tests</p>
<p>I sleep about 8 hours on weekdays during the school year. I think sleep is more about than academics.</p>
<p>8 hours at least</p>
<p>Average about six and a half hours during the school week.</p>
<p>I’ve gotten as little as two hours and as many as nine, though. I don’t do all-nighters, not on school nights anyway. Save that for the off days.</p>
<p>I averaged 6 hours of sleep a night on weekdays as a junior. On weekends, it was substantially more (about 8-9). I had just transferred to a highly competitive small private school (where more than 15% of the graduating class matriculated to an Ivy and the average SAT score was about a 2000), and was taking 4 AP classes, an honors class, and a foreign language class that went beyond AP level (and also required more work than the AP class).</p>
<p>My school no one really cares and everyone is going to a school where the tuition makes you feel rich but really you’re grandma just pays for it. But that is pretty irrelevant. I get about 7, but if I did my homework and studied when I got home, I could have 8-10. But that’s unreasonable just because when I’m done I want some time to myself to pretend like I have fun every day :p</p>
<p>And I don’t even have any time consuming EC’s so I don’t know how some people do it 
Newspaper isn’t time consuming, Yearbook used to be until 500 people signed up and now I can only come every so often. And then I don’t play any sports so colleges are going to be like <em>nerd label</em> even though the main reason I didn’t run XC is because the coach is a fail (and I’m lazy but I would be motivated if the coach wasn’t a d-bag) Wow I’m getting OFF TOPIC</p>
<p>About 6. Sometimes more, sometimes less.</p>
<p>About 5 hours…but I’m guilty of procrastination, facebook chatting, and not being very efficient when doing homework…like right now. I get distracted by the Internet during the middle of assignments. I know, it’s my fault. I’m taking 3 AP’s, 3 honors, and 2 orchestras along with ec’s.</p>
<p>6 sounds typical on weekdays. 3-5 if it’s a day before a big test.</p>
<p>Lately I’ve been getting around 5 on average, mostly because I screw around on Facebook for a long time, and waste time on sites like this (well, it’s not really wasting time, but it replaces valuable homework time).</p>
<p>Freshman and sophomore year I was very adamant about maintaining a healthy sleep schedule and would get no less than 7 to 8 hours on any night (with some exceptions for various circumstances).</p>
<p>It seems like I’m able to better handle less amounts of sleep, though my days are certainly very groggy and tiring. I think I’ll be able to get back to a normal sleep schedule after exams – it’s Winter break that messed me up.</p>
<p>I usually get 5-7… sometimes only 3 or 4 though. but I think it’s ridiculous how so many high school students get so little sleep. At my school it’s practically impossible to get a good night’s rest unless you sleep at 8 or 9 PM, which no one ever does, so everyone is sleep deprived and mostly unhappy lol.</p>
<p>edit: woops i’m not a junior, I’m a senior. but for all the juniors: take your standardized tests early and write your essays over the summer, because the first half of senior year is even worse workload-wise!</p>
