How many hours per day can you study during dedicated?

[GomerPyle]

Without going insane/burning out? I'm trying to plan out dedicated study time (approx 5-6 weeks) which begins soon for me!

I think 12-15 is possible with 30min-hr of exercise a day to stay fresh.

Pretty much every waking moment minus 2 or 3 hours to eat and shower and rest

Try to get 8-8.5 hours of sleep per day. And then factoring in some exercise, eating, etc, I would say you can get about 11-14 hours a day. When I did my study period I made sure to get through a certain # of UWorld questions, pages of First Aid, NBME questions, picmonic cards, etc, rather than trying to study for a certain amount per day.

yeah I agree that you need to sleep well. I find my self that I get exhausted after 6 hours of studying without any break. In my case, I think I spend about 8-9 hours of studying excluding break time. So pure studying time is about 8-9 hrs in my case. this is a mental torture! lol!

I'm out of the house studying the entire day, and I get roughly 6.5 hours (normal) - 8 hours (really good) of actual studying. I just set a timer and pause it for breaks, lunch, etc. so I can figure out the rhythm for the day.
