Need some advice

I started a job on June and i will be going back to school in late August. Now here is the thing. My shift starts early morning and i have to wake up at 5 a.m. I get out of school at 10 pm and get home at 11:00 pm. When i get home i eat take a shower and then go to bed so i sleep at around 12:00 am. Now this leaves me only 5 hours of sleep. Do you guys think i should just stick with the job and suffer for 1 year (i graduate in 1 year) or should i quit my job?
P.S. The pay isn't that good ($40,000 for network admin in Cali).

Also, do you have a wife? Kids? Single? Live at home? Depends on your financial obligations and how quitting your job would effect not only you but your family (if you have one).
As for the logistics of it, I worked from 7:00AM-5:00PM, then went to class from 6:00PM-10:00PM. Ate, slept, worked, studied, rinse, repeat. I did that for almost 2 years, so yes- it is possible. But it does suck and requires a tremendous amount of reminding yourself why you are doing it.
Then at one point I was working from 7:00PM to 7:00AM. Would be at school at 8:00AM until about noon. Go home and sleep until it was time to pick up my daughter from daycare at about 5:00PM. I made it through the Linux class for 8 weeks. But I didn't make it through the Windows class for the next 8:00 weeks. Course the teacher was learning the material at the same time we were. Most of the time she would get to the school earlier and try and do the labs before we got there. She was teaching other Windows classes but not the particular one I was taking. Which is why she was learning it as she went along. So that class wasn't really worth it to me. She couldn't even answer some of the questions I had.
My Linux teacher was actually surprised and impressed that I completed the class with my schedule.
This is just a decision you're going to have to make yourself as to if it's worth it and what to cut out if it isn't. But it can be done.
