You and me both.
Our high school starts at around 7 (or earlier sometimes). That being said, we have early release times (2:15). So build sessions start at 3ish, giving us some time to do homework. Coupling that with a firm "end at 6*" policy, we seem to have plenty of time to balance homework and...more work
. Programmers like to work at home, and use build sessions to debug, so they teach about/finish homework when they aren't busy.
However not everyone has the luxuries of a free period or a early release to do homework. Our team's juniors spend every free minute of their time on school, and still manage to do okay. Juniors and other die-hard roboticists, dispose of their social lives, and plan standardized tests around build season.
Sleep is very important*, and we have found that getting more sleep helps us work faster when we are awake. Which leaves me wondering why I'm awake now, on CD...
*except during the last week.
