you are lucky.. i sleep every other night. and on the night i do sleep it's usually about 5 hours... but then again, it's finals weeks. normally i get 5 hrs a night... but i got 5 or 6 engg courses a term. and engg courses > IB courses in work load. i wish i was in arts.. they slack so much. engineering ruined my life

next year i'm going to go on the uberman sleeping schedule.. then it's 2 hrs of sleep for me per day... got so much more time than everyone else!!!!!!

Well i just found out i've wasted valuble sleepingtime...and vacation time...

I was under this impression that my math exams was now, in the morning, so i drove yesterday to my flat and came to school this mornig an hour earlyer so that I could check how's forum goes and so on...then i discover that the test are only in this AFTERNOON, so could have slept hours more (the most valuable sleepping time is the time after you first wake up...) or come to hämeenlinna only today...:nono: if i had a secretary he/she would get it :nono: ....but as engineerstudents seldom has...gotta get my soul in line....nobodys fault but mine....

6 hours on average.
I slack off too much these days and sleep at 23:30 usually.
But that's actaully above average compared to most of my peers.
Some of those attending AP Bio say the class is fun, but all say it's hard and lots of work. They are averaging aroun 4 hours of sleep. But at my school, there are practically no one who doesn't have a eye bag. (If you don't sleep enough, you'll notice pockets right under your eyes and an expanding dark spot.)
Everyone is either doing too much homework or are doing it too slowly.

It's all down to how you use your time...no matter how many courses you have per period, it's always good to put all the work in good time/importance order...eg leave the big stuff untill the last minute, then you can sleep as much as you whis and just sacrifise one or two nights to the project....

...or thats least what i'm been doing...:rolleyes:....perhaps not the best way to become a good engineer, tough it might be the easyest...or at least it seems at this moment...you all know how the teachers keeps saying it to you that the ammount of work is standart...either you do it now, or later...

i get a decent 7-8 hours, even thoug im taking like 6 ib/ap classes. iplus a shitload of violin, extracurricular math, piano, community service, science fair...if you can manage your time wisely, youll manage.

perhaps a little less posting would help?

I get about 9 hours of sleep every day, 10-6. I spend most of my time after school finishing homework (and extra work) and playing piano. I normally try my best to get most of my HW done on the bus (15-20 min. ride, how lucky). I am in High school and things are kind of tough. luckly, school ends at 2pm.
