Shocking. Of 110 people 31 have less than 6 hours sleep a day?!
That's insane.

What the heck?

Lol, that is crazy guys! Chill out! You've got another three terms before everything turns upside down! You keep yourselves going on like this and no UAI in the world is going to save you from the impending insanity!

Yes, i'm finding that this stuff is really taking its toll on me - I am getting around 6 hours of sleep because of the bus and of extra studies. Not good.

Any sugestions on what I could do to get more sleep?

tell that to our teachers and parents. Man, even my next door neighbour is like: "your mum told me to tell you that you need to study hard." and I am like: "......" cos I havent moved out yet... and I see my mum like... how many hours a day?

Oh yeh, when the full weight of teacher expectations are pushing on you, you kinda have to work your ass off to get anywhere.

And everything counts, so why not do the work for everything?

Don't worry it gets worse :p I've just finished the HSC but one week this year I went to school on Wednesday didn't sleep Thursday night cause I pulled an all nighter doing an assesment, went to school on Thursday then pulled another all nighter Thursday night, went to school Friday and crashed out at 3:30pm. I didn't wake up until 8am the next morning. But that's me, I work best at night from 2-3am everything just clicks (don't ask me why though).
My hot tip is time management and prioritise your work. Work all your bugs out this term and get set for next year. All the best, and remember to get some sleep!

go to bed sometime between 8 and 11, get up at 6:45 during the week. Then on weekends, go to bed around the same time, and usually wake up around 8.
I'll quite often sleep for an hour or so after school (or half an hour in a free) or during the day on the weekends, as well.
If I have work to do, but I'm buggered, I'd rather go to bed straight after dinner and get up an hour earlier in the morning, when I've had some sleep than stay up and late and get nothing done cause I'm so tired.

I go to bed at about 11:30pm. Sleep a bit sometimes, and wake up at 6am, depending on a minimum of three cups of coffee before school. It's not healthy, but my sleeping patterns have never been great. I'm rather looking forward to christmas hols, I think it will be time to re-assess everything before the next 10/11 months of HSCing

I go to bed at 10:30 usually, wake up at 7.

So eight and a half hours of sleep, i think that's pretty healthy

There's always something swimming around my mind based on school work so sleeps usually kept to a minimum. Can't wait till it's all over and I can have a good, long, deep sleep.
I'm usually in bed by 12 or 1... it can get later some nights, but then comes the difficulty of getting to sleep, and I wake up at 7ish.

I'm procrastinating.....

Usually I go to bed 11:30, later if something is due, and get up 6:30.
7 hours night, that's alright
