Sleep?
Started by DrMDsir
As a pre-med I get plenty of sleep (8-10 hours a night), and it's not really at all stressful. Once I learned to curb procrastination and learn a bit of time management, I get done with most my work mid-afternoon. I'm only one year down in pre-med, but I've taken multiple upper level science courses at once, and I think most the sleep deprivation comes from trying to avoid work. I probably get more sleep now than I ever did in high school.

I would say 6 is about average for me. 4 on rough weeks 10 on weeks with nothing to do and 6 on most.
I never had an issue getting a full, restful night's sleep as a MS-1. I don't expect things to be any different as an MS-2.
I get around 6 or 7 most week nights, but I could go to bed earlier if I felt like it. Anywhere from 9-12 on weekends.
That is amazing! (I mean your avatar).
7-8 throughout med school
M3 in surgery rotation. 3-5 hours. Occasionally about 1 when on call then sleep for 6-7 hours when I get home.

I try to get a minimum of six hours a night. Usually I get somewhere around 7-9.
qft
sleep shouldn't an issue until 3rd year. then it just depends on the rotation, how well you want to do, board studying, etc.
