My turn:

  I have to think that she was allowed to, which probably didn't help 
her exhausted state.  Everytime she turned it back, that's another 
hour she would be awake.  Between all the classes and all the 
homework, I'd guess that she would (with turnings) be up for 
somewhere around sixteen to eighteen hours a day.  Even assuming she 
was getting the recommended eight hours of sleep a night, that is 
still an extremely long day for a 13 year old.

  And, on second thought, if she was sitting in the Gryffindor common 
room doing her homework, every time she turned it back there would be 
another Hermione sitting there beside her.  I have to think someone 
would notice that.
