    Oneg shabbos is the issue? I would think hachana is a larger problem.

    How can learning Torah ruin your Shabbos? If learning Torah ruins your Shabbos then your whole concept of Shabbos is way out of whack!!

    #944550

    Well, if you’re nervous about passing your test, then the stress from studying could legitimately ruin your Shabbos even if you normally enjoy learning Torah. But again, I think hachana is a more important issur.

    You are allowed to learn any Torah on Shabbos, because your neshama enjoys it. That’s what I learned.

    I love learning any time, so it was never an issue.

    To play devil’s advocate- about the oneg Shabbos issue, yes all learning is enjoyable for the Neshoma, but people like learning different areas. For someone who usually learns Chumash because that’s what they enjoy, but is “forced” to study for a Gemara test which he enjoys less… I could see that as lessening oneg Shabbos.

    And hachanah- if you would be doing something else, but are only learning this because of the test, why wouldn’t that be hachanah? So, I have heard that if you are taking a nap on Shabbos because you want to stay up late, you are allowed to on Shabbos since it is inherently enjoyable, as long as you don’t say you are taking a nap for after Shabbos purposes. I guess that argument would apply to studying Torah on Shabbos.

    The text talk is giving me a head ache. Mods I think it needs to be strictly limited to ThePurpleOne.

    Regardless of whether it’s permitted, it’s not good to do because it’s not shabbosdik to study for a test on Shabbos (ie, it’s stressing you out, it’s preparing for your week, it’s attending to your weekday affairs.) You should probably take a nap — most teenagers (and young adults) get far less sleep than they need, and it’s a mitzvah to take care of our health. Getting enough sleep also helps your brain work better, potentially improving your exam performance. Anyway, hatzlacha!

    yytz-

    Haha, you sound like me when I was in high school — that’s about how much I slept in on the weekends, though I probably got more than 4.5 or 5 per night.

    Most scientific authorities believe that teenagers need 9 or 10 hours of sleep a night (though one study suggests seven is enough.) (Rambam said 8 hours is the right amount, but I’m not sure if he differentiated by age.)

    Studies have pointed to one reason why they get so much less than they should: the school schedule doesn’t match teens’ biological cycle. Most teens would prefer staying up late and sleeping in late, and there seems to be a biological basis for that. What happens in practice is that they stay up late and then have to wake up early for school, leaving them sleep-deprived and grumpy (making it harder to perform well in school).

    Nowadays that applies to tons of adults too, especially now that devices like smartphones have become addictive distractions. Rachmana litzlan.

    If most people (teens or adults) would make sure they get at least 7 or 8 hours of sleep, they’d be in a better mood, do better in school or at work, get along with others better, get sick less often and recover more quickly, and have greater self-control (“executive function” in cognitive science terms.) The problem is, it takes self-control to start sleeping more to begin with!

    It’s pretty clear that doing any mitzvah is hachana. I mean… you’re preparing your home in olam ha’ba. Why would you think it’s mutar?
