Catch Some Z's Please

Wow, that title rhymes. I must be tired.
Lately, I haven't been getting the required amount of sleep (not that I usually do during the school year anyways). So, it prompted me to write a quick blurb to all you teenagers out there: GET SLEEP.
If you have an epic amount of homework, like I do, then I feel your pain. But, really, I've found that when I get that extra hour of sleep I can pay more attention (and even participate) in class, rather than struggling to take notes and stay awake during lectures.
Some Awesome Tips?
1) Sleep in the car. Those extra 15 minute naps seem to power me up.
2) Get your homework done as fast as you can! Close that iTunes, turn off your iPod/mp3, shut off your computer if you don't need it (especially those of you who use Facebook, Twitter, or AIM/Gtalk/other IM services).
3) Eat correctly! Don't skip meals, or eat skimpy meals - food gives you energy. You need energy to function in high school.
4) Get some exercise. Sometimes, even taking a quick 20 minute jog can help you get your blood pumping and keep you fully-concentrated during your homework time.
5) If you're not getting even the super-bare-minimum of 6 hours of sleep, you need to get help with your time management. Ask your parents (I know, scandalous, right? But yes, ask those adults around you to help you out).

That's just my quick little advice for now. Nothing political/new news.

Have a greatttt day at school guys! (Or at least try to.)
