Is it ok to only have 8hrs of down time a day?

I am a university student who feels like her life is getting out of hand as I can't seem to get a grip on my life. I was wondering since I do not have much things to do outside of school, working out, and house chores if I should only give myself about 8hrs a day of time to relax/sleep a day? so this means that I would be getting up at 6am and not stopping doing everything I need to do in a day until 10pm at night. 

Here is how my average school schedule works out to be as all of my classes online. Most days of the week I have classes that fall between 7am and 4pm then after that I go workout, do chores and have dinner all before 8pm. It is the hours between 8pm and 10pm that are spent strictly on homework most nights or on non school nights it is spent doing more chores and cleaning. After 10pm it is time to get ready for bed and then either relax or sleep as I have to get up again the next morning at 6am. 

Is this a reasonable way to schedule my daily life? On the weekends that is when I run errands and do the bulk of my study and chores.

    No, you should have 9 to 10 hours of down time a day, you need chill time or you will burn out.

    Yep

    welcome to the world of grownups.

    Now just add work and kids and their homework and getting them off to bed. You will be lucky to get 6 hours of sleep a night.

    Also included taking a night class and instructing a martial art class a couple nights a week.

    Schedules do help keep the chaos at bay. You have a good start. 8 hours sleep and do al your errands on days off.

    Personally i do not go to store even unless i really need to during the week.

    You are just learning what all of us adults d in real world.
