 . Also drinking coffee to stay awake until the nightly hours is pretty terrible for your health. Probably not good for your grades in the long run either. | ||

However, honestly, I find the 8 hour sleep mark is a perfect example of how some of the actually smartest and brightest people I know of work. When you have prioritized your life and cut the stupid habits that consume time (Reddit, TeamLiquid, etc) rather than doing work, you definitely have enough time to finish everything you have to do, and also get a good night's rest. And I find that this is true for all of the genuinely smart people - no cramming, no complaining, just always working and always catching up or getting ahead, with a good bit of hard fun when they have free time. That being said, I hate coffee, but love all those caffeinated sugar drinks like Frappucinos. | ||

For the record, I have the same difficulty of schedule as you and I'm in the same grade. I've managed to maintain my A's by Staying up until 2 AM if need be. This only happens if I procrastinate. Trust me, you'll feel like crap the next day but your cognitive functions aren't going to go down the toilet with just one night of little sleep unless you are not like me at all. Doing as much homework as possible at school. This usually amounts to getting all my math and physics done in the morning and during lunch. If you have a free span of 5 minutes in a class, you can still probably knock out a lot of your homework, especially in math. Then, if I need to, I do spanish, history, english, etc. at home. If you're taking a quantitative science class like chemistry or computer science then you could also do it pretty easily at school. If I feel distracted or really need to work on something I go to a library or somewhere away from where I normally do homework. I have a bad habit of going online while I still have homework to do, and I bet you do as well. I'm less likely to get on the internet when I'm around strangers and in an environment where I'm not totally at ease. If you do only sleep about 4 hours or so in a night I find it's pretty easy to take a little nap the next day (or the same, heh) and then consume some sort of caffeine. It keeps me from feeling groggy and feels a lot better than a nap or caffeine alone. You could always manage your time better, but that's too hard . I know this is the "correct" advice to give but I'd be a hypocrite for saying it. I'm sure you're not so busy that you need to spend every waking minute on homework, though, so if you can change your habits, DO IT. | ||

If you want to find something else, green tea is another option. You can drink it hot or cold, and it has good stuff like catechin. | ||

I hate the smell of it.The bitter taste of coffee prevents me from taking more than one sip. It worries me since pretty much everyone in the world drinks coffee and I just feel left out lol... even starbucks can't save me. I'm particularly concerned since I feel other students have an advantage over me since they can stay up til like 4am doing homework with coffee while I have to sleep at 11pm or 12am max since I'll get naturally sleepy... So I'm wondering should I force myself to "like" coffee so I will have an easier time with school next year and when I go to college... As an Asian I also hated Boba milk teas but I kind of "forced" myself to like it by drinking it even though it tasted like shit like a year ago... and now its one of my favorite drinks, so I feel like I might be able to force myself to drink coffee until I get accustomed to it. So as of right now, I'm unsure what to do. I know that some people are kind of fucked by being too reliant on coffee to get themselves to wake up... but as it is right now I'm not planning to get too reliant on coffee... just want to use it to my advantage to maximize my time... I'm on average spending like 2 or 3 more hours sleeping (I usually sleep at 10) than my friends who gets straight A's. I'm not a bad student, I have roughly equal A's with B's with 3 APs, so I'm pretty sure I can achieve better grades by wasting less time sleeping, even though I know its bad for my body... Lol, You're a junior in High school man, relax. Go chill with some friends and stop worrying so much. Btw, you'll find you'll end up with more free time then you'll know what to do with once you get into college. | ||

If they're doing that in highschool they have a natural disadvantage, namely, they're either awful at schoolwork, managing time, or both. | ||
