<p>I've always came to the understanding, as a college student you will most likely have a improvement in your sleeping than high school. You may not find a sleeping issue as you've experience in high school, since you can manage your schedule with a reasonable time. </p>
<p>So, how truthful is this? Have your sleeping improved? Any differences etc...?</p>
<p>I go to bed even later than I did in high school (sometimes as late as 5:30am). Buuut, it’s not because of schoolwork. :x</p>
<p>It really depends on your own initiative. In high school I went to bed late because I fooled around until midnight, which is when I then started doing my homework. Now I go to bed late because I fool around all day and night.</p>
<p>You probably shouldn’t take any advice from me…</p>
<p>Um, I think it’s the opposite. I think you are more likely to have a sleeping problem in college.</p>
<p>I sleep a lot more, especially with the addition of naps.</p>
<p>I sleep so much more, and I think a lot of it has to do with how late I start classes (most days after 12:00 [1:00 next semester], which I do not plan, it has just worked out that way thus far). My schedule is very conducive to getting a lot of sleep, and I tend to do my work fairly early. Lately I’ve been having trouble sleeping so that keeps me up, but it has nothing to do with schoolwork/goofing off.</p>
<p>I’ve always heard the opposite to what you’re saying, but really, the only people I’ve met who lack sleep (at this point) are people who stay up until 3, 4 in the morning just goofing around every day, and then wake up at eight for class. At least they’re waking up, I guess. Or people who leave their 10-page paper until the day before. They don’t get a lot of sleep either.</p>
<p>Well I know in college a lot of students stay up until 3am etc… though even them I thought would still have a better sleep than high school due to class schedule etc…</p>
<p>My school starts a 7am and I have to catch my bus at 5:50am so I never get enough sleep and honestly, I think I’m becoming dumber because of it. I can’t wait until next year when classes start a 9am at their earliest and I can walk to them.</p>
<p>I get way more sleep now, because my earliest classes are usually around 11 AM. Then again, a lot of people always complain about how they don’t get any sleep at all, and I have friends who go to bed everyday at 5 AM. But I suspect that’s only due to poor time management skills.</p>
<p>i can definitely say i’ve had MORE sleeping problems in college than in high school. not just because i go to bed later by choice, but more because of the addition of a roommate to the mix. my roommate and i have drastically different sleep schedules and class schedules (ex: i have class at 9am and am in class, practicing, or at concerts until 9-10 at night most days, while she has class at 10 or 11am every day until about 2-3ish). because of this, she stays up until 4 in the morning or later most days, which keeps me up.</p>
<p>what i’m trying to say is, i don’t know anyone whose sleep habits improved in college, but maybe you’re the first. :)</p>
<p>In college, people have the OPTION of sleeping more hours. Because you only have to be in class a few hours a day, and often only 4 days a week, you can sleep as much as you like. However, most students (from what i’ve observed) don’t sleep regularly 8 hours each night, not that it’s necessary to be healthy. but you’ll have the option of sleeping 12 hours a day if you want lol.</p>
<p>I can tell you that I will be sleeping a LOT. I’m the kind of person that lays down for a “second”, and then wakes up 6 hours later. (I’ve done that about 3 times this week)</p>
<p>^ same here!!! </p>
<p>thats why i can never say, “lemme take a nap, then I’ll finish my homework/study for that test” b/c as soon as i close my eyes, i don’t wake up till its time for school</p>
<p>i sleep wayyy more in college, but still have problems waking up for class. (and it starts 3 hours later than it did in high school)!</p>
<p>I would go to sleep in high school around 12am and be forced to wake up by 7am. Now that I’m out on my own, I usually end up going to bed around 3am (due to my work schedule and homework) and wake up at 9:30 (I don’t have any early morning classes).</p>
<p>I’ve found that even though I go to sleep relatively late, I don’t need as much sleep as I did a few years ago as a teenager. </p>
<p>The only thing that improved is my ability to wake up in the morning and not feel drained.</p>
<p>On the aggregate, I sleep about the same amount as in high school (even though I didn’t sleep much in high school in the first place), but the variance is MUCH higher. Some days, I don’t sleep at all, and other days, I’d sleep for 12+ hours, while in high school, it was normally 4 to 10 hours.</p>
<p>But my commute to/from class is much shorter (15+ minutes by car vs. 10 minute walk), so I tend to wake up much, MUCH closer to class time. Next year when my classes will be a 15 minute bus ride away, I’ll need to work on this sleep thing. At least my classes don’t start before 2PM.</p>
