Answer 1

You should sleep at least 8 hours. Personally, I have the unhealthy habit of going to bed at around 7:00-9:00am and not getting up until 2 or 3 in the afternoon. My brother calls me a vampire. I find it humorous. During the school year I typically sleep from midnight-6:30am.

Answer 2

6-8 hours

Answer 3

8:30 is too early to go to sleep even on a school night, I'd try to convience them to let you stay up to 9:30 and progressively work your way up to 11 on a school night.

Answer 4

I think you should ask if you can stay up til 10pm. Set an alarm or have one of them wake you around 9 30 am.

Good luck with this!

Answer 7

For teenagers, nine hours is about right. (Eight is for adults. Six is too few even for adults... you'll function fine but it'll wear you down after a while.)

In addition, teenagers biologically have trouble getting to sleep in the evening and have real difficulty getting up early in the morning. They naturally sleep a later cycle. It'll only get worse ;) But it's not your fault. Check the link for more info....
