Work normal and focus on self improvement. Focus on studies and get enough sleep.

Tldr my job is offering double pay for over time. The downside is that I'm not able to study and I barely get 6 hours of sleep if I workout the same day.

Workout on weekends. Get your sleep in.

Studying is key to long term success.

Your mind and you body need time to rest.

Unless this overtime pay is extremely substantial or shortly leads into a long term career position i would pass.

Workout hard af full body 3 times a week, take extra money and invest it/start own business.

I always work overtime when it's available because it rarely is and it's a good way to make extra money. Is the extra money worth it for you vs losing the hours of free time? Only you can answer that.

Sleep is important, do not reduce it. Then it depends on how important the extra money is to you (do you have any project?) compare to how important lifting and your studies are.

I was in the same situation and did 55+ hours for a year, I paid myself a cool bike and a full month of epic holidays. Now I just do a few hours here and there because I would not now how to spend the extra cash smartly, I focus in learning new skills and lifting instead.
