As a highschool student, I can tell you that the problem isn't limited to just the top universities; most of my friends and I get around 6 hours of sleep a night, and it's definitely not enough. Some nights I've gotten as little as 2 or 3 hours, but I disagree that this is the best way to learn material, because I don't remember a) any of the material I was studying or b) anything I may have learned in class the next day.
- SageRaven 16y agoTeenagers are a special subset of the sleep problem. In recent years, there have been studies that suggest teens tend to naturally stay up late, which clashes with the hours of compulsory education. Some districts have altered hours for these students, where classes start later in the morning, and the results have supposedly been very positive with respect to both grades and student retention.
