Have you ever woken up to your alarm clock ringing in your ear at 6 a.m. forcing you from your warm blankets? You roll over, staring into the dark abyss of the room. In your head you think about all of the homework due while in the midst of a mid-morning headache. You know you must get up today. This is what students go through every single school day. I believe that school should start after 9 a.m. so that students can sleep more because children will get the proper sleep they need, starting later will improve test scores, and late starts will decrease absences in school.

When properly rested, studies have shown an overall increase in student work by about .10 standard deviation. Multiple varieties of studies have suggested that the amount of quality of sleep is directly related to how well a student will learn and remember information. You might think that studying is the only option to earning good grades, but sleeping in until at least 9 a.m. will enhance the focus of a student, making those bad grades rise to a higher grade instead. Only if classes could accommodate to the sleep schedule of a student, then students could feel better about how they are working in their class(es) which would raise grades and lead to a happy and smart student. When getting the proper sleep our body needs our brain starts to loosen up and our blood pressure will lower, making you more comfortable with learning in a variety of environments. When working on a long term and time consuming project in the classroom, we use the energy that we restored from sleeping in order to work, but if we don’t have the energy to complete a task, then we would not do as well on it, leading to decreasing grades after multiple projects like that one. Regardless, sleep boosts your mind to overall do well in everything you do during the school
