My wife is in nursing school full time and works full time as well. I don't see her all that much right now


How is that technically even possible? She works 40 hours a week minimum to be qualified as full-time (8 hours per day) and goes to class at minimum 12 hours (to be full time student)?


168 hours per week - 52 hours = 116 hours

116- 6 hours of sleep x 7 days = 74/7 = 10.6 hours

So she has 10.6 hours a day to eat, shower (all included showering), drive, study? Assuming she sleeps for 6 hours everyday, which isn't a lot (basically the threshold for amount of sleep, less than 6 could result in health issues).

The same way people can work 80 hours in a week. It's really not all that hard to accomplish.

People can accomplish a lot when pushed. And some are smarter than others and retain/process information better
