Struggling to balance sleep and academics, especially when my parents ask to watch our younger sister. any suggestions to what I should do?

I think you just have to manage your time , make a schedule of the things you're going to do . Like you can still study while watching your younger sister at home . Or at night you can help them sleep early by telling them bed time stories. If you do have other sibling you can ask for help too if you want tell them that you need to do important things im sure they will understand you . It maybe a challenging job for you but at the end of the day you will learn something from it .
