Internal Sleep Clock

Research has shown that teenagers experience a change in their internal sleep clock so that waking up early and going to sleep early are difficult. Should high school classes begin later and end later in the day to accommodate students' natural sleep clocks? Do you think school starts too early? I think it does. I have to get up around 7:00 am. That means I usually get around 6-8 hours of sleep. I think school should start much later for many reasons. For example it's healthier for you, you can have more time to do things in the morning, and it's good to have sleep.

Imagine going to school half sleeping. First I think school should start later because it's healthier for you. Second, it is healthier for you because we would be able to get more sleep.

If you are focused you would be able to take test better, remember things more, and work harder.

When you are not fully rested all you can think about is going home and sleeping or thinking when school is going to end. When you are well rested you are focused better. You will be able to think about more important things other than going home and sleeping. Lastly, we would be able to have time to eat breakfast in the morning. Usually I don't have time to eat breakfast. But if they did make school start later I would be able to eat breakfast. It will help me learn better. These are the reasons why I think school should start later.

I will have more time in the morning to get ready. I usually shower at night because I don't have time in the morning to. But if school starts later I would be able to shower and take my time getting ready in the morning. Next, if I have more time I might be able to go somewhere. For example, if I forgot that I needed flashcards and I don't have any in the house I would have time to go out and buy some. Lastly, I could wake up naturally instead of being woken up by my alarm going off. If school started later I would go to school fully rested. These are the reasons why school should start later and I would have more time in the morning.

Could you imagine going to school without yawning and you not even being fully rested. First, I think school
