Students need more sleep due to the excessive amounts of work due. Not to mention balancing sports or extracurricular activities. School starts at 8:30am, how ever you need to get ready so you end up waking up at or around 7:00am, and ends at 3:00pm, an average student will come home with about 3-4hours of homework. By now its already 7:00pm now add some after school activities so its now 9:00pm. Now you also need to add family time and meals and restroom use. Now it is 11:00pm. Now add the naps your body is forcing you to take due to the lack of sleep you have been getting. so oh look its 2am. Time to go to school!
