whee i just did a presentation on this...
should schools start and end at a later time so teens can get more sleep? consider -lack of sleep among teens -how the time to go to school becomes earlier as we move up from elementary to junior high to high school. (at least it is in my case) -too much homework/studying my school starts at 7:45, but the bus picks us up at 6:45. we get to school around 7:15 and then we just do w/e we need to do before school starts (homework, make up a test/quiz, music stuff, etc). its not mandatory to get to school this early, though. i think that school should start later because it's been proven that teens biological clocks "wake up" at a later time. which means that if we go to school later, we learn better. |

We learned about the biological clock in biology, also known as our circadian rhythm. We also learned that in a teenagers' body, the chemical melatonin--which makes us sleepy when it's dark--is released later at night, therefore, causing us to sleep later and getting up early which makes us lose sleep and be tired. Our school starts at the same time, too. But I believe that since our school is on a block schedule, we should start every day at 8:20am, since that's when we start on Wednesdays (it's our late start days).. |
