The Importance Of Sleep In School

Improved Essays
Ringing pierces through one 's ears as a typical Tuesday begins, school starts at 8:00 A.M and it’s now 7:00 A.M. As one’s body starts to function they still feel fatigue; due to, the lack of sleep from the night before their minds aren’t processing things like the brain normally would. Once arriving at school the lack of energy continues throughout the day. Would another hour of sleep make a difference? While some people agree, many others disagree, I fall upon the side that supports this idea. It has been proven by many doctors that one hour of sleep, indeed does make a difference in a person’s day. According to the U.S Department of Health and Human Services, “Adults should aim for …show more content…
After getting ready one walks outside listening to the birds sing as the day has already begun. Today will be a great day. This is a visualization of how a school day may begin if starting at 9:00 A.M, the student wouldn’t need caffeine to stay awake since they’ve had an extra hour of sleep. Overall, school should start late because of the physical and mental problems happening with school starting early, and all of the benefits it has. Regardless, of the non ending counterarguments there will always be doctors and researchers who study sleep for a living, Dr. Owens who studies sleep confirms,"Circadian rhythms dictate that most teenagers can 't fall asleep much before 11 p.m.," "And if they need 8½ to 9½ hours of sleep—do the math. They are best suited to wake up around 8 a.m." I fall among the side who agrees, there has been times where I’ve only slept three hours because of homework, school should start late to give the students what’s best for them: sleep. Yes, not all students will take advantage of the extra hour that’s given to them, in the long run they will regret it sitting in different classes all day feeling drowsy. Because, when it comes down to it everything is about time management. What side do you fall upon? Does time really make a

    by Justin O’Neill, “Sleepy Teens: High School Should Start Later in the Morning” by Mark Fischetti, and “Hey You! Wake Up!” by Matthew Hutson, schools all over America are split on the topic of making their start time later. While some experts say that a later starting time is better for the school and students, some argue that it is definitely not. Teenagers need about nine hours of sleep a night, but on weekdays, only about 14 percent of them get the amount of sleep that they need.…

    First, it has been proven that adolescent brains contain a hormone that makes it challenging for teens to fall asleep before 11 at night and be alert before 8 in the morning (Spinks). This observation shows that even though students may be sleeping 7 or 8 hours, by having school start at 7:20, student’s brains aren’t functioning as efficiently as they will be an hour later. Another…

    Did you know that only one in every five middle and high schools start after 8:30 A.M, yet the American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended that middle and high schools start after 8:30 A.M. Students that don’t get enough sleep are more likely to be overweight, not engage in daily physical activity, suffer from depressive symptoms, engage in unhealthy risk behaviors such as drinking, smoking tobacco, and using illicit drugs, and perform poorly in school. American Academy should start later because students are more likely to have bad things happen to them, and students cannot learn well when their brains are still asleep. Most students that don’t get enough sleep engage in things that are unhealthy. The CDC states that students who don’t get enough sleep are more likely to be overweight, not engage in daily physical activity, suffer from depressive symptoms, engage in unhealthy risk behaviors such as drinking, smoking tobacco, and using illicit drugs, and perform poorly in school. Students that got about nine hours of sleep are more likely to improve their health, mindset, and academic results.…

    It has become troublesome and confusing to me as to why our local school district would require children in intermediate school (10 to 12 years old) to start school at 7:40 a.m. Please note that this is their start time and doesn’t include their actual wake up time, prep time and travel to school. As I began to research this more in depth I was stunned to find the numerous effects and potential effects in relation to academics, physiological and the emotional distress it could have on students. My wife and I also reached out to other students’ parents and became even more intrigued as that they shared the same concerns and problems they recently were seeing in their own children. I honestly believe when something becomes more personal…

    Changing high school start times is beneficial to student’s health and well being. Many teens only get 6-7 hours of sleep per night due to strenuous school work, although these teens need 8.5 to 9.5 hours of sleep per night. In many cases it is not easy for teens to get this much sleep because many teens are unable to fall asleep before 11pm out of habit. “Adolescents’ brains are wired to go to sleep late and wake up late, making it difficult for them to get a good night’s sleep before a 7:30 am first period class.” (Ingraham, Washington Post)…

    Also, part of the reason why students don't get enough sleep is because they are up late studying. You can't expect students to come home from school, study, eat dinner, do their homework and then go to bed right away. Teenagers need to watch TV, talk to their friends, and run errands after school. We aren't machines; we need fun in our lives. With an extra hour of sleep, we will be refreshed and ready to learn for our first couple of classes.…

    The alarm clock screeches, sounding the end of yet another short night. Internal protests eventually subside as the millions of American teens roll out of bed against all of our instincts with one thought on our minds: I want more sleep. On the bus that thought consumes us until we lean against the window and sleep regardless of the bumps that crack our skulls against the window. In school, that thought pesters us, urging us to close out eyes for just a minute.…

    Furthermore, while earlier start times may encourage adolescents to be responsible for managing their time to get ready and be on time for school, teens would create poor sleep habits as they develop anxiety and stress from being required to wake up early. Furthermore, even if they would have to face trying to manage their extracurricular activities, students would be able to sleep earlier and wake up the next morning to finish school responsibilities while gaining concentration from meeting the recommended hours of sleep. Without a doubt, if schools change their starting times later, one major leap is taken to ensure students’ and teachers’ sleep needs are met so that they are able to sleep and function during the school…

    When I was a child, going to bed late was almost like a sin. My mother set rigorous bedtimes for my younger brother and I, and only as we aged were they gradually relaxed. I didn’t get to set my bedtime by myself until I was fifteen, which is how it was for most children that live around here, but I’ve never actually asked, so that’s just an assumption. However, I never really understood how important getting a proper sleep was until I wrecked my sleep schedule to practically no return. By wrecked, I mean I’m still wrecking it, unfortunately, but hopefully reflecting upon my mistakes and gaining new information on the importance of sleep will guide me in a more positive direction concerning my sleep habits.…
