just wondering what's the best way to be able to stay up later (till midnightish) and not be tired in the morning so i can work well at school...

Any advice?

My bedtime is set to 8.30pm. I'm not allowed to stay up later than that.

I should be off soon. Humph.

Depends on the body type.

I can cope with 6 hours of sleep.

I usually have about 5-7 hours of sleep, wake up at 6:30 am sleep at about 12-1 or even 2.

I've been with this for the last year or so..

Well you could try and spend a few nights just trying to stay up untill 11.. pushing it up higher by about 15-30 minutes a night.. do anything, study, movie what ever keeps you up.

As for when I wake up, I take half an hour to get out of bed, just hard to open eyes sometimes lol, but by the time its school time i'm normal :)

david, tell me. Why are you so organised in every possible way?

You get 8 hours of sleep

You did 4-5 hours of solid study

OMG, your life is so organised that I envy you so much.

8 hours is generally whats recommend for our age. Really depends on you. I make sure I get this as often as I can to make sure I've got energy for the day, as I hate being tired all day. Normally try to be in bed at 11 and wake up at 730.

Hey,

by the way, I'd be encouraging you to get sleep, rather than to get less sleep.

It's really good and should help you if you are getting a decent amount of sleep.

So keep it up :)

Apparently sleeping even numbers of hours is good for you.
like 6, 8, 10... instead of 7 or 9.
Choose to believe or not, it's up to you =P I'm not so sure myself

It depends on the individual, some people don't need much sleep others do. I'm a total zombie if I don't get 9+ hours of sleep a night but seem people can function on four or less.
