How many hours of sleep do you need to function at school?

<p>I can take tests and perform reasonably well with only 4 hours of sleep</p>

<p>But a lot of the kids in my class seriously freak if they get less than 6 hours of sleep. I think that is incredibly odd because I usually get 6 hours a sleep a night, mostly because I choose too.</p>

<p>I can perform reasonably well during school and practice with 3-4 hours of sleep, but I crash when I get home.</p>

<p>ive gotten 100s on quizes i didnt sleep before, but i also fell asleep during one in freshman bio, i still did well though</p>

<p>I feel like this has been a thread many a time.
But I need at least six or i’m dead to the world.</p>

<p>I sleep the average amount, like 9~10 hours on weekdays and 12ish on weekends.</p>

<p>Never any less than 8, which would be below average now.</p>

<p>I don’t know.</p>

<p>I’d have to test it. o_o</p>

<p>I can do fine on tests with 3 (least I’ve ever gotten) but I feel like crap the whole day.</p>

<p>Function as in well: 6 hours
Function as be conscious and not falling asleep in class: 4</p>

<p>Function well: more than 7 hours
Function well and be wide awake: 2 hours
Not function well: anything in between</p>

<p>I always try to get 6-8 hours. Anything less, I cannot physical function BEFORE I go to sleep, so I cant do homework, study, etc…</p>

<p>I had to adjust my entire sleeping schedule from sleeping 8-10 hours to less than 7 once this year began. I can function fine at school from as little as 4 hours a night, but I’ll collapse once I get home.</p>

<p>I usually get 6-7 hours to stay awake, and perform reasonably. If I don’t have to do sports, I don’t need as much.</p>

<p>I can function with any amount of sleep because it seems like when i go to take a quiz or test i suddenly become alert and feel awake</p>

<p>I usually get 4-6 hours a night.</p>

<p>I do well in school.</p>

<p>When it comes to soccer and track… yeah… i try to get 6-7 hours.</p>

<p>I usually get 5-7 hours. Probably around 6 on a normal school night.</p>

<p>I could probably get 4 and still function. But I tend to doze off in a lot of my classes with 6 hours of sleep so getting only 4 hours might not be such a good idea. Especially during history/english tests…</p>

<p>I think I can mostly get by with 5 hours, but it’s hard. I usually get about 6, 6.5 hours of sleep a night.</p>

<p>I need at least eight hours of sleep to function. Being a procrastinator, this means my homework’s often rushed to get enough sleep, but it’s worth it. Without my eight hours of sleep, I can’t concentrate at all.</p>

<p>Good for you brandnewstate. Sleep is not like cash. It’s nonrefundable, nonrenewable, and nontransferable. A lot like credit cards.</p>

<p>So it catches up. To be normal and not crash into objects, I need 12+ hours of sleep. I order to function adequately I need either 0 hours of sleep or 8+ hours. Anything in between makes me dead.</p>

<p>Even 12+ isn’t enough. I need 9 hours all year round, except I don’t so it catches up to me during exams. When I black out, or my mind lags and fails me during exams (due to lack of sleep).</p>
