I can’t sleep less than 7 hours a day. How can I cope with my studies at IIM Ahmedabad?

If you aren't already a master of time management, there are two ways to get through the first year.

• You teach yourself time management, your productivity increases significantly, and you'll have more time to sleep.
• You disregard time management while forgetting what sleep entails. You spend the mornings keeping yourself awake in class, and the nights are spent getting ready for those classes and trying to finish up any unfinished work.

Many people end up taking the second option. Every day, they find it difficult to keep the numerous activities that they either are obligated to perform or take on voluntarily, and they quickly run out of time and patience. The more intelligent or unconcerned individuals significantly reduce their participation in voluntary activities. Thus, their days here are spent studying, sleeping, and occasionally relaxing with friends. You only need to be aware that you will either have to forgo your usual sleep or learn the skills and techniques.
