Sleep in Medical School

Members don't see this ad.

Also this is my fifth year in undergrad because I've taken 8-12 hours each semester so I don't get too stressed.

I wouldn't worry about med school, since you're not going to be going there anyway.

Seriously though, just go PhD. If you find the right advisor you can just take your time and spend 14 years in grad school.

re: itsmine

On the one hand, I'm glad she was clever enough to use a less obvious screenname this time. On the other hand, "itsmine" does bring to mind the thought of a total narcissist, which will obviously make anyone here think of streampaw. Maybe next time use a fake first initial + fake last name + number or something. DPelton8974

Hmm...DPelton...D-pelt-on...pelt...like an otter pelt...otters live in streams...and have...paws. Nope, still setting off the Streampaw sense.

oops...actually "pelt" was part of her second name which was probably why I thought of that name in the first place... (seriously streampaw -> stormpelt and we weren't supposed to catch it?)

So you're basically a cat with the remarkable ability to play Grand Theft Auto. You need a Youtube channel

I bet the cat plays as Trevor a lot 😛

look at the original post.. OP clearly states "Also I don't have any extracurricular activities because I spend like 24/7 in my dorm or the library trying to study."
We are not talking about your hypothetical situations, we are talking about the info OP gave us.

OP is currently only doing 8-12 credits and no ECs.

Well I had lots of ECs my first year of college so I was just going to mention those. That way I could just worry about class the next 4 years like I did and still have ECs to list.

I'm glad someone is sticking up for OP. Good for you.

Here's my story: I require 18 hours of sleep a night plus 2 hours of playing GTA every day or else I start failing classes. I can't change and I don't think I should have to. I'm sick of people telling me that I can't be a doctor if I'm never awake. I'm actually very proud of myself for standing out and not being like these other losers who don't understand the value of hibernating most of the day. Okay, I just wanted to get that off my chest. I need to get back to bed now.

I play GTA on weekends sometimes

Umm i really doubt this is going to work.. You will have ECs to list, but the fact that you continued none of them and did nothing since the 1st year isn't going to look good.

Are you so sure you're as good at lying as you think you are?

It's pathetic, really.

Stop worrying about what other people think of you, and if anyone ever tells you to stop following your dreams unless you can live off of less sleep, never listen. Ever. That is the greatest mistake you will ever make in your life if you listen.

Rofl telling someone who is asleep more than they are awake to stop following their dreams... classic.

Itsmine have you ever thought that by telling him med school isn't practical in his situation we're actually doing him a favor? It would be a disservice to give him false hope in the way that you're doing. Do you really know anything about medical school? I'm not trying to be condescending, but NO ONE will be a doctor that MUST sleep 12-14 hours a day.

Unless you work part time as a dermatologist amirite? 😉
