My best advice: minimise your waste and maximise your time. Work on homework during school as much as possible (including lunch). Once you get home, don't lollygag like I am right now; get right to work. Most of all, get a good night's sleep on Sunday; you can't overcome a bad start (I've tried).
I feel your pain on the sleepless Sundays.

Anyways, like others said work on schoolwork as much as you can during school. If there is a time where your teacher finishes instruction early, do your work. The major thing is to not let tiredness stop you from making good use of time.
