Annemehr:

I think, since the use of a time-turner can be dangerous, that Hermione was told to use it *only* to go to simultaneous classes, and that she followed that rule to the letter.  That would mean she wouldn't use it to get all that extra homework done, so not only was she living through days with a few extra hours, but all the homework would have cut into her normal sleep time.

I'd bet if she'd asked to use it to get a nap every day, permission would have been granted, but she didn't.

I figure that's the only magic that was involved.
