> College + Sleep? Not gonna happen.

Wait, what? I slept so much in college. Way more than at any other point in my life. You schedule your own classes and aren't actually in class that much, gives you plenty of time to sleep.




Probably depends what you study and at what rate. Alot of students work fulltime in addition to studying fulltime, which basically puts sleep and eating secondary or even tertiary. Socializing isn't on the radar for many.


Working full time and going to school full time is basically having two full time jobs... that would clearly hinder sleep.

The statement, however, said college means no sleep. That is a bit disingenuous to say that was meant to imply the person was working full time.

That would be like saying "living in an apartment means no sleep!" because you lived in an apartment above a 24 hour bowing alley.


Fair enough, but I understood your comment to mean that college was a "point in [your] life" that had ample time for sleep. I was just pointing out that that point in many people's lives has less sleep due to college, not more.


My workload in college was insane. For one of my semesters I had zero social life and slept a day out of two, one out of three near the end. It was awful. I didn't have a job and lived with my parents who handled food too. Not many people made it through. Was a shitty community college. I would have had an easier time at MIT, heh.


I worked 3 jobs, was on the newspaper, ran track, and took a full course load on top of commuting home when I could -- I probably slept more than I do now but it was def not enough!


Sounds like the college part was only a minor contributor to the no sleep... it was doing all the other things along with it that lead to no sleep.
