sleep Options

[smile4me]

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.

Well i wake up usually 7:45 each morning, i dont have breakfast in the morning because we have tests straight after registration so i have to revise for one each morning, we dont usually really know what kind of test we will have, oral, written, reading, listening etc, so i have to go over everything before i go to bed and when i wake up, i leave for school at around 8:20, my mum usually takes me cause i miss the bus alot lol. I dont like getting up early though because i go to bed around 11pm, so i am really tired in the morning. I would rather school start later maybe around 9:00pm or something, so people have more time in bed lol.My school starts at 9:05 though, i get home at 3:00pm, i go to bed quite late because i am usually on cb for ages lol
