<p>While we're on the subject, does anyone truly notice a difference in their energy level depending on how much sleep you get? Like I said earlier, my sleep schedule is pretty consistent for most of the week, except on weekends when I like to sleep in.</p>
<p>I average around 3-5 hours of sleep a night. I think there's been one night I actually got 7 hours, and that was surprising.</p>
<p>Earlier this week I got 2.5. It was pretty much hell the next few days, especially considering I didn't get a full 6 hours of sleep for several nights, until which it was probably 4 hours of sleep per night.</p>
<p>It's so hard to function on so little sleep; I constantly find myself chugging coffee every day just to get through my morning classes. I didn't drink coffee before I came here.</p>
<p>Why not just sleep more? Even if you're swamped with work, I'm sure you can manage your time easily for an extra few hours of sleep.</p>
<p>easy for you to say sleeper</p>
<p>I don't sleep too much on weekdays and a lot on weekends, thats why i'm sleepyman. My classes starts at 11AM every morning so staying up late isn't too bad, I usually go to bed around 2-4AM on a good night and never on a bad night. But those bad nights are usually thursdays or fridays because I know I'm way too tired to go to school after an all-nighter.</p>
<p>My sleeping has been pretty erratic. I usually go to bed by midnight but when I have a project due the number of hours of sleep I get go down..a lot. I've stayed up until 5am and was in class by 7am working some more once. </p>
<p>I sleep on the weekends and take naps during the day. The computer doesn't really keep me from sleeping. I choose to stay up and use it to get things done.</p>
<p>I slept 12 hours straight yesterday so Im sure my sleeping habits arent the best.</p>
<p>I am kind of a health nut in life, which affects my sleep habits too. It's really important to me because I'm one of those people that really needs a lot of sleep to function well the next day and stay healthy in the long-term.</p>
<p>Most nights, I am in bed by nine and asleep by ten, except on Fridays where I may stay up till 10 or 11 ;) I wake up at 6:30am every weekday (7am on weekends) and am at work by 7:30am. More days than not, I wake up before my alarm even goes off.</p>
<p>It's not the typical college student schedule, I suppose. But it's really important for me to stay rested. I am taking a max. credit load in school and an independent study in addition to working 20-25 hours/week, exercising everyday, etc. I doubt I'd be as efficient with my time if I were sleep deprived.</p>
<p>I get about 8 each night, but that's because I understand that I'm here to learn and not party. The people I see not getting any sleep are the ones that are hanging around in their friends' rooms or going off-campus until midnight every night. I try to have all my work done by 10 each night, so that's my focus.</p>
<p>Ditto to MHC2011
I get about 7-8 every night
Down at 11 up at 7</p>
<p>Wow...Reading some of these replys kinda scared me lol. </p>
<p>I'm goingto be a freshmannext year, and right now I sleep from 9:30pm-5:30am, so like 8 hours....IDK what I'll do in college if I have to sleep less than that...since I'm a studyholic.</p>
<p>I am impressed by anyone who chooses to study over sleeping.
I've been in college for over a year and I still can't do that.
I can manage to hang out with friends till 4 in the morning and avoid sleep but if its me and a pile of books- I always pick sleep!
I always seem to rationalize that I will study better after I sleep.
I sleep about 7-8 hours a night. I don't study as much as I probably should...</p>
<p>i'm only a freshman but i've been sleeping a lot more in college than i did in high school. in high school, i usually only got around 4 hours on weekdays. in college, i usually sleep between 6-9 hours a night depending on what time i have class the next day.</p>
<p>im in the same boat all605, i have so much more time to sleep since i have time in between classes to do hw</p>
<p>Well I have 8am classes Monday through Thursday. On these days I go to bed normally from 2-3am and wake up at 7am, so I get 4-5 hours of sleep during the night (due to procrastination, homework, rock band/video games, internet, friends, watching tv/espn sports etc). I also take 1-2 hour naps about every other day between my 2 morning classes. During the weekends (Thursday through Saturday nights) I go to bed normally anywhere from 3am to 6am (due to partying/hanging out with friends) and wake up normally around 10am-12pm. So on weekends I get 6-8 hours of sleep.</p>
<p>i agree that on a whole i get more sleep in college than in HS. in HS i got up at 6:30 every morning and went to sleep minimum midnight, latest around 1:30.</p>
<p>so since 3 days a week my earliest class is 11/12/1, i get A LOT more sleep even if i dont go to bed until 3:00 (i would say my average bedtime is 2:00am). however, monday and friday i have to get up at 6:35 for community serivce and i still dont go to bed until 1:00/2:00 the night before. and then there are the nights here that i only get 3 horus of sleep and that NEVER happened in HS.</p>
<p>i would get so much more sleep if i didnt procrastinate endlessly on the internet or love just bumming around with my friends so much. its terrible to have everyone live within 10 feet of you.</p>
<p>Ever since I started, I've been getting 3-5hrs of sleep daily, and I don't study all that much either.</p>
<p>Studying is overrated, sleep is underrated. You can't learn if you don't sleep...</p>
<p>I'm an engineer and I almost always manage to get 7-9 hours of sleep a day. Even these past 2 weeks when I woke up at 6:30 and took a practice LSAT before class I got 7 hours. Sleep = good.</p>
<p>6.5-7.5 hours nightly.</p>
<p>Time management.
Lay down the long arm of the law with anyone who tries to interfere.
Namely roommates. Who set their alarm for an hour earlier than your alarm, only to wake up 30 minutes after you do.
That ended REAL quick.</p>
<p>Under 1 hour on Monday. 11 on Tuesday. 5-ish on Wednesday. 11 Today.</p>
<p>(I have class every other day.)</p>
<p>"When I was in college, post-midnight bedtimes were common, and all-nighters frequent during finals, but I think that today's students add extra hours to their days and are far more sleep-deprived than we ever were due to all the electronic "conveniences" that didn't exist four decades ago."</p>
<p>That's one of the oddest reasons I've seen for later bedtimes, which I don't really believe is true. Most nights earlier in the week I get between 8-10 hours, give a take an hour or two, and later in the week typically 7-12+. I honestly know many people who go to bed before 1 am earlier in the week.</p>
