I've been thinking about this myself aswell for a long time. I actually made a post on my site about it aswell (from my own experience). There are lots of ways you can draw and study. At this point I will be trying a different route (also inspired by Feng Zhou) which is giving myself a project to work on. Since I want to get more into card art I started with Magic the Gathering projects. Googling art descriptions (Thanks john!) and do those. The CC is a project aswell which lets you study and learn a lot. Basically I stopped doing random studies since that was not working for me, I just did not know how to apply them and in the end I forgot them. Time is something you have to try out what works best for you. Same goes for sleeping. I try to keep a 7,5 hour sleep (5 cycles) to not burn out (again).
Hope this helps a bit.
