... I do not anger easily or often, but I was a high school student whom was overwhelmed by projects as well as homework and had been awake for almost 36 hours. ... Teenagers are the worst of the bunch and it has a lot to do with high school start times. ... However, the sleep deficit of teenagers today is hampering high school students’ achievement. “Sixty percent of children under the age of eighteen, complained that they were tired during the day, and fifteen percent told researchers that they fell asleep at school during the day” (Later School 1). Research has clearly shown that later high school start times would result in less sleep deprivation, better learning, and fewer behavioral problems.
Some high school districts have resisted even considering making a change in their start times. They argue that they are concerned about increased busing costs, shorter after school sports practices, fewer opportunities for after school work to be done (Later School 1). The main concern with after school sports and activities is time pressure. ... However, the school schedules force them out of bed at the time when their body is at its sleepiest.
