Sleep habits

On average, I usually get about 6-8 hours of sleep a day. After practice, I am so tired, that I usually go to sleep earlier than before. This both helps, and hurts me. Going to sleep is always better than going to sleep later, but sometimes I am so tired from practice that I cannot get all of the homework that I have due for the following day finish. This hurts me academically, and also hurts my education. This totally pushes the electronics away during the week though. Since I have so little time when I get home, I usually do as much homework as I can, then go straight to sleep. So I have no time for any social media or video games. This also means that I have minimal time to study too.

Nothing really keeps me up at night. Even if I try, I will immediately fall asleep because I am so tired from soccer practice, and because I have to wake up early to get to school, because I live on the east side. The only thing that will sometimes keep me awake is studying. If I have a test coming up, or if its the next day, I will try to get the perfect balance of sleep and studying. But, this means that I will stay up much later than I usually do if I just finish my homework and go to sleep. Some things that will keep me up are also if I remember I have to finish something, and I didn't finish when I was supposed to. For example, if I have to do reading for Mrs.Calabro's class, and I forgot, it will keep me from sleeping, because I know that it will hurt my grade if I don't finish it. This blog post also is keeping me up, because I have to finish all of my homework before I go and do anything, and I want to go to the beach tomorrow, but I forgot to finish this on Friday, so I am staying up doing this and other work that is due on Monday.
