Hey there!

FAM leader 1: I usually aim for 10:30-11:30 on weekdays but sometimes will push it to 12 (or 2am lol although I do not recommend), on weekends I’m usually the same but might stay up a bit later because i can.

If you’re trying to get into a routine make a plan to stop studying by say 10:00 and then turn off all digital devices etc as you get ready for bed and aim to be in bed by 11-11:30 every single day (you can change the times according to your needs but the concept remains the same). Consistency and forming a habit is key here

FAM leader 2: I have a bad habit of sleeping at like 1 AM and then when i get home after school I take a nap which is NOTTTTTTT GOOOD AT ALL!!!!!!!!!! Not good for your health nort productivity.

FAM leader 3: I’m pretty religious about the time I go to bed because if I get less than 7/8 hrs I perform really poorly the next day. I fall asleep between 10-11 most days (never after 12 unless I have an end-of-the-world assignment due the next day). I turn all of my devices off at around 9:30 - 10 and have a shower before bed - I read somewhere that your body temperature drops when you go to sleep, so having a hot shower and then cooling down mimics that effect and you get sleepy. Also more sleep in the morning lol.

Hopefully this helps!

Hey there honey,

Don’t worry, there are plenty of people in a similar position to yourself, and there’s definitely things you can do on the last day to work through the stuff you still have to do.  Here’s a simialir question we’ve answered with some advice about what to do today and how to approach the homework you have left - http://friendsatmacrob.tumblr.com/post/163038682197/i-kinda-left-all-my-work-till-like-now-and-theres.

But remember, even if you have a lot of work to get though, and this applies throughout the school year, that you’ve got to take care of yourself and get enough sleep. Getting enough sleep is not only important to keeping you healthy, but also to your ability to work better.

Hopefully this helps!

Hey there,

Sleeping for 18 hours is probably a sign that you are not getting enough sleep regularly. Try to get into a regular pattern for sleep (especially during the school term) and seeing as it is holidays right now allow yourself for some extra sleep. Try to stick to sleeping at night and waking up in the morning at a good time, even if you’re only able to sleep a few hours, and instead try to take short naps if you get sleepy in the daytime.

 Hopefully this helps and things get better!

Hey sweetie!

I personally sleep really late, but I have tried sleeping at 10 before which I really liked. That said, I was getting up to 9 hours of sleep which is more than enough to function through the day. Honestly, the times you sleep are quite adequate in terms of getting sufficient sleep although going to bed at 12am may mean you’re not actually falling asleep until later. I would try to make 11pm a regular routine instead, since you would be getting 8 hours which is super ideal.

Note that oversleeping can make you sluggish, so don’t sleep too much! I found that even when I used to sleep at 10, I still felt tired during the day but not enough to want to take a nap. I recommend that you possibly try to get physically active when you are starting to feel lazy as it may not be the sleep that is affecting you. Also, remember to eat healthy foods and energise yourself!! When you can, get natural exposure to light rather than artificial as this is much better for you brain too.

 Hope this helps,
