Answer 1

This is the way the world works when you are a student unfortunately :(

You need to talk to your Mum about the babysitting part and get some support on it if it really is taking up too much time, but at the moment half an hour isn't too bad.

You need to eat and sleep, don't push yourself too hard.

Only allow yourself to do your homework until 10 or 11pm, so you get around 8hrs sleep.

Talking to your teacher in privacy is a very good idea - ask them for advice on what you can cut out on your homework and for tips of prioritising your time.

Whatever you do, try your hardest not to get behind on your deadlines, I made myself incredibly ill in college by doing this and not sleeping for days on end.

Answer 2

I'd say yes you need to get more sleep. You need to ask yourself why is your homework taking so long, are you in A.P classes, do the teachers really assign to much work, how are your study habits? I know a 1 yr. old can be really disruptive, so you need to be in another room with a door on it to cut down on the noise. Background music has been shown to be good for most teens while doing homework, not vibrate the walls loud, just on low-med. TV is considered to be to distracting. Make sure you have a desk/table to work at with good lighting. If all this fails please talk to your teachers or guidance counselor at school.
