Why Sleep is so Important

The average teenager needs about 10 hours of sleep. If you get that many hours of sleep you must not have a job or do any sports. About 54% of all highschool students do sports. To get that much sleep with doing sports, having a job, or doing any extra curriculars is almost impossible. Doing all those things plus homework is just asking way to much for anyone. That’s why we should start school later or end school earlier.

If we started school later or ended earlier then some students might not be sleeping during class or be so distracted or tired all day. We might have students get better grades and some that pay attention more. If someone ever isn’t paying attention or getting good grades and do sports or has jobs then they could be not getting enough sleep. 
​

Some tips to get better sleep is to maintain a consistent schedule, going to bed and waking up at the same times every day helps regulate your body’s internal clock. Create a relaxing bedtime routine, engage in calming activities before bed, such as reading or taking a warm bath, to signal to your body that it’s time to wind down. Make your sleep environment comfortable, ensure your bedroom is cool, dark, and quiet. Invest in a comfortable mattress and pillows. Limit screen time before bed, the blue light emitted by screens can interfere with your sleep cycle. Try to avoid screens at least an hour before bedtime. Watch your diet, avoid heavy meals, caffeine, and alcohol close to bedtime, as they can disrupt sleep.
