1. I usually sleep at 10:00 or 9:00 and at weekends uhh 12:00 PM or 11 or 10
   But I wake up at 7:30 or 7:40 AM not 12:00 PM
2. On schooldays, I sleep 10 hours. On holidays and weekends, I can sleep up to 14 hours... And I still spend the whole day tired as hell. I really should go see a doctor
3. I have slept for less than 4 hours 6 nights a week the last 3 years and it's killing me
4. Please do a video on little sleep vs. no sleep. I would really like to know whether it is better to get 2-4 hours of sleep or to rather not sleep at all. Thanks :) ...Oh and do it Asap, I'm getting kind of tired.
5. Stop here guys. Go to sleep.
6. Fun Fact: Homework was invented by an Italian teacher in 1905,like a punishment to bad students.
7. In High School, I complain too much about homeworks making me sleep at 2AM. But at university, I literally sleep at 5AM, and I'm still not finished with my assignments/projects.
8. Ive been getting 8 to 10 hours of sleep over spring break and for some reason i forgot i had school tomorrow gotta wake up at 6 o clock and its 12:20
9. Can I just be a grizzly bear???
10. do you know whats really sad
    
    
    
    
    
    
    I'm in 5th grade and I get 5 pages of homework(more than half I my class including me have sleep deprivation)
11. Teachers: Now I'm assigning you three tests to revise for, 6 worksheets and two essays
    Student: When is this due?
    Teacher: Tomorrow
    
    two weeks later
    Teacher: You failed
    Student: How?
    Teacher: You probably didn't sleep well enough before the test, can I ask why
    Student: -_-
12. What about ADHD
13. i sleep at 10:00 everynight but omg im so glad im not a sleepy person and when k mean that i meant that i don't sleep AT the daytime
14. Please I need an answer! I sleep for 6-7 average in weekdays but when it is weekend I can't stop myself and sleep 10-12 hours! I want to sleep 8 hours on weekends but dont we wake up automaticly when we get enough sleep so why its harmful to sleep more than 8
15. I've been up for days, not sure when I should crash but the weekend seems like a good idea.
16. Seeing all these comments on school correlating to sleep deprived students makes me laugh.. try being in the army full time and taking college classes at the same time while having to deal with waking up for training at 0530 or whatever time before my shift starts and getting off work after 8 hours, sometimes 12.. and passing the classes with an A or B.. balance your time better. If it was easy, everyone would do it. #dontcomplain
17. 15 hours of sleep is the best.
18. I get 2 or 3 hours a night
    I can't sleep
19. There's no way lack of sleep can cause you to have 112% chance of death
20. watching at 3 am
