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. |

QUOTE(uninspiredfae @ Apr 15 2005, 1:16 PM) If teens go to sleep at 10pm on school nights and wake up at 6am, they get 8 hours of sleep... and you're saying that this is not enough? teenagers need on average 9.5 hours of sleep. that'd be going to sleep at 8:30, which becuase of the offset cardican rythm, teens aren't not sleepy yet at. now, 9.5 is an average so plenty of teens need more than that. |
