    protected $fillable = ['student_id','action','time'];
    public $timestamps = false;

    public static function Log($Action,$StudentId = null) {
       if(is_null($StudentId)) $StudentId = Auth::user()->students_ID;

        if(self::CheckLastMinute($Action,$StudentId)) return;
        self::create([
            'student_id' => $StudentId,
            'action' => $Action,
            'time' => date("Y-m-d H:i:s")
        ]);
    }

    public static function CheckLastMinute($Action,$StudentId = null) {
        if(is_null($StudentId)) $StudentId = Auth::user()->students_ID;
        return self::where('action',$Action)
            ->where('student_id',$StudentId)
            ->where('time','>=',Carbon::now()->subMinutes(1)->toDateTimeString())
            ->count();
    }
}

you didn't provide enough code to answer. Please improve your question by adding the controller and the model you are using... — DaFois, Nov 09 '18 at 17:50

please click edit and add the code to the question not in the comments — DaFois, Nov 09 '18 at 17:53
looks like you need to read a guide on how to post before posting lol the post is very unclear, and your code is obfuscated. No one can help you with this amount of information. — Max Alexander Hanna, Nov 09 '18 at 17:54

It's a bad idea to assume you have an authenticated user instance.

When you don't have an authenticated user, either in a cli context or a guest browsing your site, Auth::user() will return null. So you're essentially calling null->students_ID in those contexts which is the reason for the error.
