In 2nd example, using 一般 would mean the statement applies generally to Italian students, despite there might be exceptions that some students are used to waking up at 8.
If 平時 is used, it would mean the situation is generally applied to the daily routine, implying in some particular days or situations, they are forced to wake up at the unusual hour of 8am.

平时 means "normally" while 一般 means "generally". They have the same meaning. 一会 means "a while".
