The Ways not to Be Exhausted

Have you ever been exhausted on a Monday morning and feel like you needed more sleep? Do you hate waking up early in the morning every day? Almost every weekday high school student’s wakeup at 6 am to get ready for school. Most high schools start around 8 am, which is too early for teenager’s minds to function properly. Schools should make sure their students are well rested and ready for a long day of learning. School should start later in the morning, so students can get full recommended nine and a half hours of sleep. Students will be more attentive which will help them learn, and teachers will also be more awake and in better moods. As a result, the students will have better concentration, energy, and attitude in their studies.

Students need a lot of concentration to work hard. When they are exhausted and tired they are unable to think. Also, students need to be wide awake in their classes to pay attention. For instance, when they are solving mathematical equations or writing essay, if they are lacking their sleep they will have many mistakes and will not be able to perform their duties as expected from the teachers. Especially when it is the first class of the day, many students fall asleep and miss the lectures in their classes. Schools should start at 9 pm, and instead of ending at 3 pm, schools should end around 4 pm. For example: Let’s say a student has a lot of homework that night and so they go to bed around 12 pm after finishing all their work. That student would not be able to wake up at early in the morning to get ready for school. If they are a morning person, they can go to bed early, wake up earlier and still complete their homework. Whether they are a morning or a night person, the student will be well rested and fresh for the full day of school ahead.

Energy is also very important both for students and teachers, instead of being drained and late to class, students would have more energy without being late, and they would be well prepared. Students will work much harder when they are not lacking sleep. Energy is needed to obtain good grades and gain alertness. More sleep is healthier for students and better grades are earned. Students who have an early start are more likely to skip breakfast, without doing it they do not perform well in school, and do not engage as much in physical activities.

Nobody likes to wake up early when students do not get enough sleep they skip school sometimes just to catch up on his or her sleep. If the school was pushed back to 9 am, students and teachers would be much happier and healthier. Parents will also love this because students will get better grades and the students will participate more in physical activities. They will be focused and attentive, and in addition, students will be less late to school. Students also will have a much better attitude towards homework because they can complete it at night and maybe complete some studying in the morning as well. Instead of teachers getting up at 5:30 to prepare for their classes, teachers will be happy when they get to sleep in as well.

Schools should start later for students to have better concentration, energy, and a better attitude. If school started later, students would be more focused and concentrated, instead of being tired and drowsy. Students would have more energy to do an excellent job in school work. Everyone would get to sleep which could lead to better attitudes.
