ALL academic pursuits must conclude by 8pm Sunday Night. No, I don't care about your other classes.
You MAY engage in social pursuits, watch a movie, play video games, read a book (for FUN only... not an assignment), work out, or sit and stare at a wall
You MUST be in bed BEFORE 10 pm (we are shooting for 9 hours of sleep here...)
You MUST eat a decent breakfast before coming to school. Wake up early enough so that you have some free time in the morning to relax and get into a proper mindset. No panicky "I'm going to be late to school" moments that could lead to more test anxiety.
Sleep it off
