6-8 hours of sleep is pretty good actually. only advice, get your homework done while u r at school or right after school. then go to sleep early - 9pm or so. U may be able to get 10 or 11 hrs of sleep =)

You are not getting good sleep, possibly due to stress. Take vitamin B & C to combat stress. When you handle stress better, you sleep better.
Other sleeping tips.
- melatonin : I took 1-2mg. I have colleagues that take up to 6 mg. The average is about 3mg. This is non additive. Another point is melatonin need no doctor's prescription. You can read more from this site
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/melatonin.....
I have even read from books on melatonin that it is an anti-aging pill. Not bad. You sleep and stop growing old.
- use lavender aromatherapy. Lavender smell help me to sleep after a night shift.
Some addition tips I used
- The most important rule is not to force yourself to sleep.
- Get a boring book with a topic you want to learn. Read until you are ready to sleep. Listen to classic music as you read.
- No activity before you sleep. Avoid watching movies, reading ghost stories, pillow fights, exercising.
- Keep the clock as far away as possible. The ticking make you even more afraid and awake

Drink a cup of hot tea before you go to bed and you will sleep even better, or a glass of warm milk.

Go to bed earlier. Don't do homework in your bedroom. Make sure the room is quiet and dark. No caffeine after 3 PM.

dont study before sleeping it causes your brain too much activity, give yourself a beak at least one hour before going to bed, turn off your computer and tv. exercise always helps
