Some of us sleep in because we don't want to face the reality of doing work. The depression sometimes gets to much you know? When I say some of us, I mean me. (duh :mad1: )
hey, if you think you get depressed or stress you haven't met me ! a majority of time i really don't want to do work because it either seems like theres too much, im too stressed, tired or the fact that me not understanding some of the things freaks me out. thus i have to push and force myself a LOT to get started and despite how long it takes me it gets done in the end. and trust me once you finish it you feel really good ! im sure most of the students doing the hsc feel the exact same way. but the thing that differentiates the students that get like a band 6 compared to someone that gets 4, is that they always do their work which could be in the forms of study, hw even if they dont feel like it and also they find extra work to do, even if they don't have to. but there are always the few who cram and are just naturally smart, but i dont think there are a lot of us! and also just remember that theres a point where stress and depression is ok, but theres also a point where it becomes ridiculous.

Most days I get approximately 20 hours sleep. Yes, 20 out of 24.

Although sometimes, my body goes days without letting me sleep, no matter how tired I am.


Long term illness blows. :(

Damn... I'm heaps sorry to hear that :(...

Personally, on school days no more than 3-4 hours, I have heaps of trouble getting to sleep. It makes me heaps tired during the day, but on holidays its all good. It takes me forever to get to sleep, just like normal, but I get to sleep in.

I don't know exactly how much sleep I need because no matter how much I get when I eventually wake up I feel tired. And I don't wake up and get out of bed unless I have to, I kind of half sleep for several hours before getting up.

10 hours seems to work pretty well for me... and a couple of those hours are half sleep.

During the holidays, I usually get about 6-7 hours of sleep. I also get around the same for school days.

Yes, it happens every holidays. As you can see im awake at this very moment.
I found the first week back each term to be a complete write off as my body clock had to slowly readjust. its like jet-lag.

During term time i got 5-6 hours of sleep a day. Even during the HSC final exams i was going to sleep at 3ish, and waking at 5ish :p

Results were not dramatically affected though :)

I hate sleeping. Waste of time, imho. More than seven hours sleep is bad for you.

Plus, I don't see how it can be bad in the holidays :D

What time doees everyone sleep on normal school days? I'm around 10-10:30.. Towards the end of the term when asessments are complete it becomes 11:20ish
the more you sleep the more you feel tired and restless.

on normal school days i sleep usually around 2am and get up about 6:20 to start studying

anyone else having weird sleeping patterns since the holidays started? i cant seem to sleep till like 4am -_____-" hahah yes it is 1:30am and i am VERY bored at the moment =/ .
:wave: Look at my eyes O_O On average these days it takes me about 5 hours to go to sleep after rolling around in bed for almost the whole night >.< See I go to bed at about 11pm, and am still wide-eyed at 4am -_-''' Once I just sat up at 1am and started listening to French tapes. Haha. Better being a nerd than just tossing the night away in vain :S Another time I wrote up a quiz at 5am, and posted it on the net when the morning rolled around. Hmph. And the more weird thing is, that night, although I haven't slept for the entire night before, I still only fell asleep at 2-3am >.<'''

Have to agree with you there hopeles5ly there is usually always somone on an IM service to chat to when you can't sleep and since I have a few contacts overseas and it other time zones there about 99% someone is always online and ready to talk without being to tired.

As for sleeping patterns, yes they are always very different for myself in the hoildays because generally I don't have to get up early but I usually like to be up and ready to start the day by 9.30am.
