Later School Start TimesEveryone has always hated getting up extra early to go to school. As children grow older, they attend different schools, from elementary to middle school to high school, and start times are earlier. In elementary school, there was never a problem getting out of bed, but as I got older, it became increasingly difficult to get up and the days got longer and longer. Schools start so early in the morning that it is difficult to concentrate and students tend to miss more of their previous classes and attend all of their later classes. Schools everywhere should start later because it would benefit students and teachers. All children need and want to sleep during the week, which is very difficult. It has been noticed that older students and younger students, such as third and eleventh graders, have very different sleeping habits. In many places, this is the same way that middle and high schools start earlier than elementary schools. The problem is that teenagers stay up at least two and a half hours later than younger children (Bergin 2). Older children stay awake for a variety of reasons, and younger children may fall asleep easier and earlier than high schoolers. Children from elementary school through high school tend to wake up at relatively the same time, but as noted earlier, older children go to bed later than younger children. Children aged 3 to 17 tend to get up at the same time, 7 a.m. (Bergin 1). Sleep habits differ between high school students and elementary school students, but they are also very different between students and teachers. Students and teachers both have issues with class times and their sleep patterns are both negatively influenced by the morning shift. Even though they are at school around the same time... middle of article ......hungry A. "sleep: the EZ ZZ intervention." Educational Leadership67.4 (2009): 44. MasterFILE Premier. Internet.
