<p>Most of us aren’t at BS yet. I don’t need to sleep to get through class, in fact being tired makes it less boring somehow :D.</p>
<p>Blue, sounds like you need to perfect the art of sleeping with your eyes open (for the rest of this year anyway 
).</p>
<p>I’ve been trying :D. I’ve perfected totally zoning out but I can’t quite get there. I’ve gotten my book confiscated 46 times (yes, I count!) this year so far. Thank the lord for books or my life would suck. I occasionly play a game with rationing words, allocating so many words per period and seeing if I can stick with them. Oh and writing Fanfiction that’s always a good way to pass time plus there’s always a thrill when you publish and you get reviews. Of course there’s Gym AKA as the bane of my existense. Speedball <em>shudder</em></p>
<p>jesus christ, you haven’t even come and you’re already sleep deprived!?!?!? TAKE A BREAK. honestly, i get all <em>coughmostcough</em> of my work done and i generally manage to get 8 hours of sleep a night (which dwindles to 6 or 7 once or twice a week). You shouldn’t be so sleep-deprived, especially if you’re motivated enough to get some work done during frees. You don’t HAVE to deprive yourself of sleep. It’s not healthy and you will do worse in school for it.</p>
<p>I know it’s not healthy…I choose to be sleep deprived because I like reading. Probably doesn’t speak for my maturity but I suffer no adverse affects for it and I don’t do worse in school for it at the moment.</p>
<p>well get ready.
Honestly, i read A LOT before i came and I haven’t read a single book for fun since the start of the year (not counting breaks 
). It happens.</p>
<p>You know that almost makes me not want to go to BS. Sad as it is REading is my life. We were discussing giving stuff up for lent and someone suggested I give up books. Utter horror. I’d rather eat only rice, never go on the computer and actualy do my hw then not read although that’s partially because I have 7 hours of free time every day. If I was actually intellectually engaged I doubt I’d need to read as much.</p>
<p>I second with Izzy, especially since many of you guys are still in middle school! I go to a top public high school and still pull off around 7 hours a night on weekdays, 9 on weekends with 6 honors classes. When I was in middle school, it was more like 9 hours every night… Unfortunately I don’t have the time anymore, but it is so, so important to learn to manage time well! :)</p>
<p>I didn’t go to school today because I couldn’t get up. Apparently my body can’t cope with <4 hours of sleep every night for a week.</p>
<p>no **** sherlock
you need some f****** SLEEP.
god. and i think i might fail my bio test today 
(hardest teacher, honors class. meh)</p>
<p>BlueRaven1 and others, I understand your passion for reading but you have to sleep enough especially since you can. Once you become seniors and start preparing your applications for colleges (especially if you are doing everything on the last minute) you would kill to sleep. I also agree with izzy and suzie. It’s bad for you health!!! I mean it! -source: my life</p>
<p>I sleep 4- 6 hours at night, as my school starts at 6.30 (killing, I know)
I pay the 2 hours (to get the ‘healthy 8 hours of sleep’) at school.</p>
<p>Jeez izzy no need to be mean. I was saying that with a certain amount of irony that clearly wasn’t conveyed. Besides I normally sleep 8 or 9 hours back in Autumn I’ve just been experimenting to see how little I can cope with. My sister can honestly get away with 4 or 5 hours sleep and be chirpier than me on a good day! I wanted to see if I inherited this.</p>
<p>Staying up all night reading is probably the best uses of your time. That, or staying up all night talking with friends. Once the tests are all finished and done, you’re not going to have fond memories of the all-nighter you had studying for finals.</p>
<p>i love reading too and i used to read for an hour b4 school everyday, but then i started sleeping later. lol</p>
<p>I’m not a morning person by any strectch of the imagination. I could go to bed at 7pm and still sleep through my 6am alarm. Seriously.</p>
<p>5 hours during the week. Used to get like… 10. Then I went to high school. </p>
<p>@BlueRaven1 oh completely agreed.</p>
<p>The norm for me is 7-8 hours. I love sleep. It takes me forever to get to school each day so I need it. In my current school there is a flex class(what you would call study hall) three times a week so, most of my work is done at school.</p>
<p>4-6 hours.
And school starts at 7:30… blahh
but then after school i come home and crash.</p>
<p>Normal (8am-3pm school, 5-11pm commitments) School Day:
6 hours of sleep, 7 tops.</p>
<p>Sleep-In (9 or 10am-3pm school, 5-11pm commitments) School Day:
7 or 8 hours.</p>
<p>Weekends:
12-13 hours. Haha.</p>
