Being a full-time student at any university / college can be stressful as is. Also having other responsibilities such as a job or being involved with sports can definitely cause for many all nighters and sleep deprivation. Studies show that it is recommended that college students get 9 hours of sleep. However most college students only obtain about 6-7 hours of sleep. Have you ever crammed all night for a test, and then feel both mentally and physically exhausted the next day? Our body needs to obtain the stage of REM sleep in order for us to function at our best. 
I know from personal experience that it's a rare occasion when I get to sleep for 8-9 hours. I tend to notice that I feel much better and find it easier to retain material while studying when I am able to have 8-9 hours of sleep. How much sleep do you receive? Would you say it's enough or would u like to receive more?
Not enough sleep in college...

Sleep when you're dead! Now if you had night classes, you could maybe sleep in during the day like I do myself.
I personally receive only 5 hours of sleep each day and it's clearly not enough. However, like most teenagers, I am way too energetic to go to sleep before 10 and too tired to get up before 6. I guess the only way to improve our sleeping quality would be napping...
