Hermione isn't doing a whole extra set of classes each day, she is 
doing about three extra hours. I suppose this could have a cumulative 
effect, but wizards are tougher than muggles. Also she would not have 
to time turn at all at weekends, or (as Geoff pointed out) holidays. 
I doubt she time turned for homework, since part of the problem 
seemed to be that she was having trouble fitting it all in.
