This is quite a quandary.

While I side with you, StudiousMaximus, I have a couple of questions. How are you approaching your parents about this issue? Are you clearly delineating your high school goals - all As and a sufficient amount of sleep each night - to your parents? Are you addressing your parents respectfully? I’m sure you are doing all the above, but it is always good to be actively conscious about how we should approach parents with tricky issues.

I also agree with floridadad55. If you have been reasonably conveying your wishes to your parents, then it’s time to find a third-party mediator, such as the leader of your religious activities. He, or she, will help you and your parents reach an acceptable compromise.
