Well, i'm not exactly sure. See, we have had exams all this week, and Sunday night, I got about four hours of sleep, so I can see that wasn't good. But then Monday night, I feel asleep at about seven and woke up at six, and I was even more tired that day. I'm really not sure what's going on. Then, last night for some reason, I couldn't get any sleep at all. I was studying spanish until about two in the morning, and when I finally got to lie down, I just couldn't sleep. And if I did, I woke back up about 10 minutes later each time.

Well hopefully your exam went well! Speaking from lots of good old fashion experience, your "internal clock" is off. Significantly altering your normal sleeping times will cause a period of readjustment..4 hours and then 13 doesn't mean you averaged your normal 8.5, so everything should be "normal". It will take some time to get back to normal. If this is going to be a norm in the future, try and make your sleep/nap/siesta times a multiple of 1.5 hours, this is the average persons sleep cycle. Ask any intern, it is a taught and learned behavior. This will decrease readjustment times.. sleep tight, don't let the scorpions bite :-)

You're either nervous about the exams, or you haven't given your brain enough time to cool down after all the studying. Big duh, you're saying.
You can tell by yourself if you're sleep deprived, it's not like it's a medical condition or anything. I'm a total insomniac, and when sleep deprivation catches up with me, it usually manifests itself as sore, teary eyes, pounding headaches at the front of the head, sometimes a feeling of anxiety or nautia, and of course, general fatigue. Also, I'm incredibly iritable, sometimes hillariously so :)
Everyone misses out on sleep during exams, there isn't much you can do about that. I could tell you to try and free your mind of exam-anxiety and study induced chatter before going to bed, but, as most people know from experience, it's easier said than done. Despite the ovbious temptation, I'd stay away from stimulants like coffee. When you're truly exhausted and not just in need of a pick me up, it tends to make you uncomfortably wired and unable to concentrate.

You need to set your alarm really early in the morning and actually wake up. Then you will become tired at a decent hour and want to go to sleep. Set the alarm again the next day and then adjust. You need to adjust your mind to your schedule.

This is not a sleep deprivation yet
( http://www.the-sleep-zone.com/sleep-deprivation-effects.html ). But it is a good idea to try to stay on the same sleep schedule every day. I know it is easier said then done, just do your best. Here are some tips how to sleep better - http://www.the-sleep-zone.com/bettersleep.html
