Hi
I'm just a pre med and this is super, super premature but I'm wondering.
I generally try to get at least 7 hours of sleep, I did in HS, and I do now in College. I hate being all groggy, but I can stay up late when I need to. I generally don't understand how people have such poor sleeping habits for no reason whatsoever.
An older pre med told me this means I won'd be able to handle residency? residency is hard for everyone, and the lack of sleep is hard on everyone, isn't it? It takes some getting used to , and most people's bodies adjust, right? It's only for two years? I mean, in my opinion, you should try to sleep as much as you can before residency so that you don't burn out ( your body can handle minimal sleep for some time, but it'll burn out eventually.I had a friend who went to a vigorous private HS, so she got into the habit of less than five hours of sleep. She says, now in UGrad, she needs at least 6 hours , she thinks she needs to "recover" from being so sleep deprived in HS. Thoughts?
