[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was my #1 concern before accepting TJ's offer. My top priorities were (1) 8 hours of sleep and (2) ample free time and let grades and college admissions fall as they may. I was told that if the student is very strong academically, then it should not be a concern.

My child is able to get to bed by 10 PM until sophomore year and 11 PM in junior year, except for maybe 4-5 nights when HW took longer than expected  and they went to bed maybe 1-2 hours later. Senior year, it is more socializing that keeps child up rather than HW or tests.

Ended up being top 5% of class and a couple of HYPSM admits.

Because sleep is one thing I keep pestering my child, this is a constant source of discussion. "All my friends go to bed 2-3 hours after me, why do I have to go to bed so early?" I did learn from child that most students stay up very late at night like 2 or 3 PM.

Out of curiosity, to be top 5% is that getting all As and not a single lower grade? If so, huge congrats to your DC-that’s amazing!!! Oh, and should say still amazing even if it means some Bs since harder to maintain grades there.[/quote]
