Being a high school student, I find it hard to stay focused in my first three classes. In order to elaborate, I must first put you in my shoes. I am a freshman in high school, I wake up at 5:45 every morning. In order to make it to school I have to be at the bus stop by 6:30, later arriving at school at 7:00. First period starts at 7:15. Like most high schoolers it is difficult to wake up at 5 something in the morning. Studies show teenagers should get at least 8 hours of sleep each night. That would require us to fall asleep at 9 pm the previous night. Due to homework and other school related events, many such as myself fall asleep later than 9 pm. I believe if high school start time was pushed forward 1-2 hours, this would allow us to get the proper amount of sleep and boost test scores.
