How much sleep do you get.

I didn't know I was actually missing a whole hour and a half of sleep I should've been getting.

If you get any less, on average as an adolescent, you'll never perform at maximum capacity. For example, your memory won't be up to par. Did you know that students who slept 40 minutes less got C's and D's in school, whereas students who got the extra 40 got A's and B's? On average.

Set a normal sleep pattern, because it makes a difference.

Now back to your regularily scheduled topic.

P.S. Also, does anyone snore? And what position do you sleep in? I'm interested.

I don't think that's consistent for everyone. Different people have different needs.

I, for example, get 7 hours a sleep every night and I feel good during the day. I have great grades...All A's, actually.

And during the summer when I go to bed, I wake up after almost exactly 7 hours of sleep, and I can't go back to sleep. It's just how much sleep I'm naturally programmed to get.
