Adjjusting to the Bankers Schedule?

Senioritis and not interning has taken its toll with me getting about 10-11 hours of sleep per day, and feeling tired when waking up earlier than 10am.

Am I the only one in this predicament and worried that cutting my sleep in half will really affect my judgment? Was your transition very drastic, or mainly facilitated by drinking loads of coffee?

(I didnt do an SA stint either)

Same here...I have absolutely no problem staying up till 4 every night, but if I need to be somewhere anytime before noon, I will be late.

 
delljunkieDon't worry so much. Start prepping 1-2 weeks before (waking up at 7am). You'll be fine, it's not that bad.
It actually does suck. I'm almost 9 months into the job and waking up at 7 when it's still dark out is hard.
