During school holidays, what time would you choose to go to bed if you could decide by yourself and were entirely free to plan your day?

Once you get into bed, you typically fall asleep:

You stay up until 11pm finishing off an assignment that’s due the next day. How does it feel completing the assignment at night?

What time would you wake up if you were free to wake up whenever you’d like (you have no school commitments at all)?

After you’ve woken up, do you ever fall back asleep?

How regularly do you rely on waking up by an alarm clock or a family member? This quiz is adapted from the work of Dr Michael Breus (The Power of When) and the work of Morningness and Eveningness Assessment (Horne & Ostberg, 1976)

How alert are you during the first half hour after waking up in the morning?

Generally, how easy do you find it to wake up in the morning (whether you’ve been woken unexpectedly, unnaturally or naturally)?

On the weekend, I usually wake up by:

Imagine that your school has given you the option to select what time of the day you’d like to have your PE lesson. What time would you prefer?

You need to study for an exam over the weekend for a couple of hours. When would you schedule the time to study, if there were no other demands on your time?

Your school decides to implement a new change and you can select your own school hours to optimise your performance, so long as you can be at school for 6 consecutive hours per day (with small breaks interspersed throughout). If you could select your own hours, based on when you’d be most focused and alert, you’d likely select:

You need to attend an excursion and need to be at school by 7:30am. How do you feel?

How many hours of sleep do you typically get on weekdays?

How many hours of sleep do you typically get on weekends?

Do you feel like you’re getting enough sleep?

Do you use a digital device (phone, laptop, iPad etc) in the one hour before sleep?

Do you nap during the week? Yes, if so, how many days per week would you nap?
