What what's "a good time"? If you have lectures at 8:00am, explore this scenario:

- let's say it takes 30min from your home to the university

- let's say it takes you 15min to get ready (including shower)

- let's say it takes you 30min to have breakfast (10min preparation + 20min eating)

That means you need to leave home at least at 6:45. To sleep at least 8.5h, you'll need to go to bed at at least 10:15pm. I don't know you, but when I was younger, at 10:15pm I was feeling full of energy and couldnt go to sleep just like that.

10:15 is also the kind of time when everyone else has STFU and I can code/study in peace

Skip breakfast, sleep less. You don’t have 8am classes every day. You can easily get to bed by 22:30 and sleep more than enough.

If your circadian rhythm is set to sleep at 2am, an 8am class is going to be hell no matter what you do.

OR join the military and learn to sleep on-demand anywhere at any time while being able to stay awake through the most boring lectures.

It's a great and amazing skill.

I'm not sure it is worth the learning experience.

Two questions though, had you exercised and when did you get up? I never like getting up early, but if I got up at ~7am, exercised, didn’t eat like crap/drink, going to bed ~10:15 was not hard at all

> sleep at least 8.5h

Good luck find a university student with that type of sleep hygiene. I was the most sleep vigilante of my group and almost never slept more than 8 hours. 7 was my minimum, anything less led to migraines.
