I'll wake up and sleep same I do now, around 11pm-7/8am
Yes I typically do attend all lectures. In 3rd year though my timetable is a lot smaller so I have no excuse to not attend all.
I'm not planning on revising until February. I'll have nothing to revise until then, and I'll be busy with doing assignments instead.

I woke up around 7am, and went to sleep around 11pm.
I attended all my lectures where possible, unless I was ill or judged them to be a repeat of previous content.
I studied at least 1 hour for every hour of contact time I had each day.

Please could you explain this in a bit more detail? What/how did you study?

This is quite typical advice that lecturers give you during your first few lectures/weeks.

It allows you to keep on top of your knowledge and prepare more thoroughly for assignments and exams, without having to cram everything into the last few weeks of the semester.

I would do independent study by: doing the recommended reading, doing related extra reading, making notes from the reading, looking up definitions of terms/concepts (particularly those I didn't fully understand or were only mentioned in passing during my lectures), planning assignment structures etc.

It varied by year (as the years went on I had less and less contact time), but on average I had around 18 contact hours per week. Keep in mind that I did an allied health course, and these tend to be very contact hour-heavy.

I typically go to bed anywhere between 9-11pm, attend all lectures, and don't revise daily.

I was going to bed at 3 or 4 and getting up 90 mins before I needed to be in a lecture. I pretty much did read and re-read every day, that's probably why I'm now an expert on the stuff I am an expert on—loads of reading
