It won't be better in college. At the JuCo and D2 university, our son was lucky to get 6 hours of sleep per night. Typical weekday, lifting at 6 am, then classes beginning at 8 or 9 am until about 1 or 2 pm. Then practice from 3 pm to 6 pm. Then it was dinner, then it was off to study until 10 pm or so. If there is a mid-week home game, he had to be at the field by 1-2 pm, game at 4-5 pm and if lucky back to the dorm by 8-9 pm. If an away game he would have to leave earlier and they would get back much later. Weekends found my son at the field from 8 am for a DH starting at noon. After cleanup, it might be 8 pm when they finished cleaning up for a home game. Away weekends had them leaving Friday evening or early Saturday morning and not arriving back at the college late Sunday evening. Son actually liked away games since they didn't have to clean up and he could actually get some study time or sleep in on the bus or at the hotel.
