sleep length

ANSWERED

How do I get a better nights sleep? I am up until 10 o'clock at soccer practice every week night and then I still have homework to finish up. How can I have more time to sleep, I end up taking 1 or 2 hour naps every day after school. Because of those naps I can't fall asleep when I am supposed to. Any tips?

Maybe try to tough it out and do your homework after school instead of the nap. Then when you get home from soccer practice hot relaxing shower and then you can get to sleep earlier.

 Your Coach and Parents probably know that it takes two hours for the body temperature to drop after physical exercises.  Sleep is not possible with an elevated body temperature.  So I ask," Why is a 14 year old at soccer practice until 10 p.m. at night?"  I have grandsons your age who live in NYC.  What is an eleven year old doing at a school chess match until 11 p.m. at night.  It is insane. What is the priority here. Are you training for the Olympic soccer games? The USA culture is training you to burn out by the time you are 21. Good luck!
