To second what UORBulldog mentioned, don't buy the 8 hour a night deal. Atleast, I never got it. Sure, you can sleep all 8 of those hours, no one is going to stop you, but you won't have any of your other things ready to go. Personally, this is what I did. I just got back on friday from Jrs, so take it for what it's worth...
My last name starts with a W so I was near the duty hut to begin with which I thought was going to suck at first, but turned out to be great. Anyways, every morning starting at 0400, fire watch banged on the bulkhead by the duty hut at 5 min intervals. I would wait til he said, "Good morning, rank, the time on deck is 0415", and then I'd get up and shave, put up my laundry that I had gotten washed that night, and brushed my teeth. If it was a running day (which it usually was) for PT, I'd try and drop a deuce if you know what I mean. By the time I was finished with all of that, it would be about 0435. Then, I got dressed in everything and laid back down on my rack, with my feet hanging off to the side. No boots on in the rack! That way, whenever they called lights, all I had to do is jump on line. I heard one candidate say, "an ounce of preperation saves a pound of heartache." That was my way of making sure my stuff was good to go for the day. Whatever routine you choose, just stick with it and the body will adjust. Good luck to all!
