Going through life all tired is a nuisance, especially if you have 5 tests and 6 things to do outside of school.

I belive that school should start later in order to give students more time to sleep.

The Washington Post says that school should start no earlier than 8:30 

AAP says that adolescents have an unusual sleep pattern that can cause sleep deprivation which leads to poor academic performance if they have to get up earlier

Because of this, I believe that many adolescent need all the help thaey can get grade wise, and if that means getting more sleep, then they should have it.

Part of the reason that I believe that many are reluctant to push later start times is that they feel like it's a waste of student time.

However, I feel that It is not a waste of student time if the school day starts later as if it's quality time spent, it's bettter than quantity time spent.

Also, I'd be willing to have a longer school day if I could just sleep in a bit more.

Students who have better sleep preform better accrosss the board, states the Huffington Post

If we want to have better preforming students, we will need to make a change to the way our school days are organized.

In order to make the shift, we need to start school days later.

Thereffore, we need to push away our woes and realize that we are bettering the necxt generation by doing this.
