I usually fall asleep around 3 0r 4 am sleep a couple hours, wake up, eat something small, fall back asleep and most times am up for the day by 9. I cannot nap during the day.
Been like that since I can remember. I’m almost never tired either. No idea, that’s just how I am.
Research tends to suggest that your best hours of sleep occur before midnight. But just get eight hours, even if it’s 3am to 11am. Don’t cut yourself short if you can help it.
I’m taking classes in college, and I still manage to get eight solid hours of sleep. And I usually keep eating til about an hour before I hit the sack.
My sleep is usually from 12am to 8-8:30am. Just get 8 hours bro.
I sleep from sun-down to about 11 pm. I do school work for a few hours and sleep until sunrise.
I then go to school/work then i train and i’m done for the day.
On weekends I catch up on school work and prep all my meals and training updates for the week.
Been at it for a 3 years now with this schedule. Spring Break coming…I’m going to experiment with cooking tastier foods that fit my planning.
Honestly, if you can’t get 8 hours of sleep in college you are doing it wrong. The number one way that people do it wrong is overvaluing class. With my chemical engineering and history double degree in 4 years I could sleep however long I wanted. That said, I usually slept between 4am-2pm. At least in my later years.
Even in law school, I sleep as much as I need, when I need it.
If you have a job, sleep can be tough when lifting. If you are in school, you are doing it wrong if you can’t get enough sleep.

Then most medical students and dental school students must be doing it wrong.
In order to do all of the studying that was needed, along with eat as many meals as I was as well as make it to the gym everyday…along with having some personal time to simply do shit I wanted to do, it was rare for me to sleep more than 5-6 hours during the week at all…much less if we had exams that week.
It isn’t just about the class load but also the overall lifestyle of trying to lift weights on a regular schedule as well as eat several times a day that eats away at time in school/grad school.
If I didn’t lift and didn’t give a shit how much I ate, I would have had tons more time.

Not having a dig but read through your log this morning and you seem to get up at 11pm or later?
Also, 9am is not that early a start. Trust me. Getting up to lift weights before getting to class at 8.30 is early! lol

I can’t comment about med school since I’ve never done it. To my understanding it requires a lot more memorization than other forms of schooling and so may require more time. I stand by my comment about undergraduate schooling. The undergraduate system in this country, and elsewhere, is a joke.

Not for those with sights on grad school who are trying to make a gpa over 3.5. Yes, it is a joke if your major is something you can literally walk through.
Biology, Engineering and majors of that nature are generally NOT a joke unless that particular college sucks.

True for the most part.
What people in those “lesser” majors forget is the importance of making an impact as an undergrad.
Forget all the silly organizations you can sign up for online, pay a membership fee and claim to have been a part of the org for X amount of years.
Focus on writing a paper and submitting it to a peer review journal. Or, develop something, if possible.
That is what I’m trying to do as an undergrad and I have no doubt that it will make me a better candidate for the graduate programs I am considering.
I have learned two lessons that may be the final, great revelations I will have had in school:
When this is the case, often times you spin your gears thinking, “There is no way it will be that simple,” when in fact it truly is that simple. So, you spend a disappointing amount of time speculating on the steps you might need to take, when in reality, because there ARE no steps that are universally agreed upon, nobody will be able to get in your way.
You can’t be regulated if there are no regulations, I mean.
“No” usually means:
“Not now.”
“Maybe…”
“Go ask someone else who might care more.”
