<p>For those applying to the elite of american higher education, about how many hours of sleep do you get a night???</p>

2

<p>Many on a weekend. About 6-6.5 on a weekday.</p>

3

<p>6-7 all the time.</p>

4

<p>6-7 ours on a weekday–it varies on weekends.</p>

5

<p>usually 3-5 on weeknights, generally 4.</p>

6

<p>6-7 10-12 on weekends.</p>

7

<p>7…are you trying to be sardonic with this post?</p>

8

<p>Yeah I would say 4-5 =/</p>

9

<p>I pretty much get 7-8 no matter what.</p>

10

<p>7-8. it depends on the semester…</p>

11

<p>Exactly 7.5, no more, no less.</p>

12

<p>Uh, original 501, mimicking someone else’s sleep cycles isn’t going to get you into Harvard.</p>

13

<p>8 - 10 hours, not including naps throughout the day. I value my sleep.</p>

14

<p>Although, is it telling that only one person responded with less than 6 hours?</p>

<p>no, probably not.</p>

15

<p>5-6 hours on a week night, probably 7-8 hrs on the weekends</p>

16

<p>I just want to know if what I sleep is normal, compared to others.</p>

<p>That’s all! =]</p>

17

<p>8+ in high school, 7-9 in undergrad, 6.5-8 in medical school with 9+ at least one day a week.</p>

<p>Sleep deprivation is not the key to success.</p>

18

<p>unless you want money SO BADLY that ibanking seems like an attractive option.</p>

<p>then it kinda is.</p>

19

<p>5-6 but at least one all nighter every 3 weeks. My school is way too intense…</p>
