study tips + motivation <3 (3 Viewers)

[Hiheyhello]

Just shift your official wake up time to meet the sleep necessities... You stick to that, you'll get the kip you need whilst avoiding that 'oh shit the day's gone' mentality... That's why I'm able to wake up at 11am but still feel there's enough hours in the day, as I stay up til the early hours of the morning...

but wouldn't it take a while to adjust?
and then it would stuff you up for school hours...

I'm used to reconfiguring as the term looms, I ease back into it before the preceding weekend.

 

[stressedadfff]

i finish aaround like 10 or 10.30, depending on my motivation to work and how much work i have left

Also, keep in mind i wake up early to watch football at 5am so yea

LMAOOO thats so much effort tho - respect earnt

 

[stressedadfff]

if i wake up past 8 my brain says: it's too late, don't even bother, you've already lost half of the day so there's no point in trying anymore just give up.

and that's how i've fallen into the habit of setting my alarm for 5 and snoozing it till 6:30 and overall not meeting the recommended sleep requirements

wait what time do you sleep tho, i dont understand how my friends sleep at 4-5 and are awake by 9 studying 14hrs tf is wrong with them

Around 2am these days, but I'm slowly easing it back til around 12am & aiming to rise before 9/10.

19 hours a day is way too much time spent on study at year 12 level. Perhaps your friends are either procrastinating throughout the day, forcing them to compensate for the time they lost by staying up late, or that they are having naps throughout the day - something I occasionally do but at university level. I never had to do this for my HSC (the maximum I did was 13 hours).

oh nooo not 19, 14! they literally have one hour dedicated to eat and thats it, so demotivating that i need 8 hours of sleep to function

how many hours do you study for?

14h is absurdly unhealthy.

 

[nilatar]

how many hours do you study for?

Honestly, not nearly as much as a lot of you folk. 6-7h is a good day for me, sometimes I can dip around 4.

thats reasonable especially if you dead studying and in the zone rather than forcing yourself

Yeah well, that's the thing, a lot of the time I aint... I could sit down at my desk for 8h but in actuality get 4-5h of undivided study done.

Something doesn't add up...

Sleeping at 4-5 am then waking up at 9am, then studying for the rest of the day = 19 hours (18 if we subtract the 1 hour dedicated for eating).

LMAO obviously they don’t study 14 hours straight that’s just like their goals and what not like throughout the entire day be productive but definitely not straight pen to paper for that long HAHAHAHA

I don't think you're getting my point. Regardless, an effective straight 14 hours of study with no breaks is not physically possible as you mentioned.
