Okay so I hear the majority of my fellow pre-meds talking about how they are always tired and complaining that they haven't slept and been up so late, the typical pre-med reputation. I personally don't understand why anyone would be trying to study anything when they are that tired, even with tests coming up.
Do many of y'all give up sleep on a regular basis for studying? IMO in undergrad if you ever have to give up very much sleep for studying is because you were not preparing adequately ahead of time. Unless of course you have another large time commitment. Is it a bad sign that I have trouble learning anything when I am sleep deprived for when I will hopefully be in medical school? 8 hours a sleep a night isn't too much to ask for. And there is a difference between working and studying, running rounds at the hospital is much different than trying to sit down and learn an organic chemistry mechanism.
