[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.

This was very much my child’s experience also. My child was able to get to bed by 10 or 11 most nights. I drove him in each day, so he could sleep till 7 or so each morning. Also did sports at TJ and an outside club sport all year.

It was the kids who were having a more difficult time with handling the work at TJ who tended to stay up until the wee hours of the morning. Some of the kids he knew had prepped heavily to get into TJ and needed tutors on a consistent basis to get through the coursework.
