<p>I totally like come home after a long day at school and feel like doing nothing but taking a long nap. I know its bad for me in the end cause I end up having to stay up late cause of getting distracted by AIM as well as tackling a bunch of hw.</p>
<p>What do you guys do like right after school so that you have the energy to take on all of your homework with no naps and are able to get to bed by 1130ish?</p>
<p>afternoon: Tennis practice/Extracurriculars/Work (depending on the season/day)
evening: Music School/practicing (depending on the day)
9 pm: dinner
10pm: AIM/everything else
11pm: Homework. But then I really am forced to focus and get it done so that I can sleep. so does adrenaline/panic count?</p>
<p>o and also sometimes that 2-4 time slot is filled with extracurricular activities instead but i usually stop by the library before getting picked up</p>
<p>I take a quick nap, and I make sure I set my alarm clock, so that I can wake up at a decent time. Some of my ECs end 5:00-6:00, but I still make sure that I get atleast an hour of sleep, before doing my homework.</p>
<p>What time do you get home? What extra curriculars do you have (sports, band)? </p>
<p>I come home at 6, eat dinner, shower/brush teeth, game/tv, until 8 then go to sleep and wake up at 3 am. Since no one should be on aim or whatever, you will have about 4 hours to do hw.</p>
<p>Or you can just pop in some energy drinks when you get home.</p>
<p>it makes it easier to focus on hw and get it done quicker if you do stuff after school that has nothing to do with academics....join a team after school..or if your not into that, get involved with other non-academic extra-currics....but make sure they dont take up tooo much time...or you will be up way past 11:30 like me...coffee works pretty well though....i can go on 3 hrs of sleep if ive got coffee...but it gets annyoing when you have so much to do that you get home at 10:00, exhausted, and still have tons of hw to do....so i guess do whatever works for you</p>
<p>i dont get home until somewhere from 6-8 pm so i dont usually go to bed till 2 am, and i am always way too tired to do hw, so sorry i have no advice!</p>
<p>whenever I get home that late, I sleep at 8:00 and wake up at 10:00 or 9:30, and then I will do my homework...It's more fun going to sleep, rather than waking up in the dark.. :)</p>
<p>I don't do much at night. I go to bed around 10:00 and get up at 4:30-5:00 to do homework. It works for me. I'm extremely focused early in the morning. </p>
<p>It also helps that I have 2 free periods at school to do *****work, so I can focus my morning and nighttime for studying.</p>
