I usually fall asleep around 22:30-23 and have to wake up around 6 for school. I’m a night person so I can’t really get to sleep before that. Also, the sound of my alarm is physically painful so I tend to be half-awake a while before it in anxious anticipation. High schoolers (I’m USian) need more sleep than most people, so I feel miserable on less than nine hours and deteriorate throughout the week. Idk how some people do it on even less sleep. My head buzzes and I can’t focus most of the time during the school day. On weekends I used to get 11-12 hours to make up for my sleep debt, but I haven’t been able to since daylight savings time. I can now barely get ten hours a lot of the time, leaving me tired enough to have a strong tendency to go on social media without much energy for else.

Any advice? I can provide more information if necessary.

    I wouldn't call it "surviving" but if I have to get up at 4:00 because it's the morning shift week, I end up just pushing myself through the night once I realize it's like 01:00. So I do some gaming in the meantime. Or just semi-stay awake because there's only half an hour of night during the summer.
