the past month has been the worst in my life...
i go to a school which has very high expectations from us students. this results in a lot of homework, usually we are supposed to spend at least 90 mins on them every day (this also applies to weekends and days off). about a month ago, the teachers tripled our homework for each subject. none of us students have that kind of time to spend on them during the evenings.
so we have to do them nighttime. my average day usually looks like this:
get up at 6
school starts at 8
school ends at 5
im back home at 7
dinner and time with friends 'til 8
homework time 'til 11
my parents tell me to go to bed
i go to "bed", but keep on doing homework
homework tim 'til 4
get up at 6
school starts at 8
...

what am i supposed to do (i always perform flawlessly in school and i would like it to keep a's in ever sub), tell parents? school? student council?
apparently 2 hours of sleep isnt enough...

First of all, I think you either lie or exagerate. If you have only 2 hours of sleep every day, you couldn't survive.

And can you tell me the name of your school?

First, talk to your friends and be sure that you are not the only one who dies every night because of HW and other stuff. Teachers will never be enough. Go to the assistant Principal's room, and talk to him / her in a very polite way, as you were very good and top students ) If you talk seriously they may do something about it.
And are you at primary or high school ?

i get alot of pressure, the lowest iv ever got was a B in maths, and im terrible at it. I do 2-4hrs of homework a night, and i have the added pressure of actualy living at school, if you cant cope with it tell them, your sleep and well being comes first :)
