Sleeping is very important, there is no denying that, but what if it was completely ignored? That is practically what schools are doing. They make students wake up super early, then give them homework that takes till 1am to do. Because schools are destroying student’s sleep, we should change the way school is scheduled and lowering homework.
First, sleeping is very important. Sleeping is very important for our health, well-being, and general pleasantness. Lacking sleep can lead to serious health diseases such as but are not limited to: heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes. We need to change this to prevent dangerous diseases.
Next, you may being thinking: well if school starts later, where will extra-curriculum go? Well to put it simply, if we edit schedules, there will in fact likely be more time to extra-curriculum. How? Because if we edit schedules along with lower homework, students will in fact have much more time due to not having to spend 6 hours on homework each day. Schools should lower homework to make more room for extra-curricular.
Lastly, it affects student moral when they are sleepy. Sleep depreciation is proven to cause depression and overall gloominess. Happy students tend to work better than sad students too. So, if students are sleepy, they’ll be more distracted and work less efficiently than ones that have slept well. Schools should edit their schedules to increase student moral by having them get a good nights sleep.
In conclusion, schools should change their schedules and lower homework amounts. This is because it will prevent health problems such as heart disease. It will also increase the time student’s have for extra-curriculum by lowering the time they spend on homework. Lastly, it will increase student moral because sleeping more increases general happiness. If schools care about their students, they must change.
