The Effects of School Starting to Early is Sleepy Teens

About 70% of students lack sleep, and one of the main reasons for this problem is that the school was too early. Many schools decided to start before sunrise, and it can cause problems for students. As is well known, when a person gets insomnia, he gets tired the next day, but most people do not know how much insomnia affects the body. Loss of sleep due to these early wake-up calls will greatly affect students, mainly due to lack of attention and memory, but also leads to weight gain.

Shin, Kim, Lee, Ahn, and Joo (2003) examined the effects of sleep habits and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) on high school student academic performance. Epworth Sleepiness Scale defines excessive daytime sleepiness of each participant. Their academic record is based on the final exam of the previous semester depending on the grade of the academic year. The results show "a significant increase in prevalence of EDS (p <0.001) and a decrease in school performance" (Shin et al., 2003, p. 3)

A few weeks ago, my friend Lauren Daisley was at CBS on Sunday morning (Sunday morning teen drowsiness is a major public health problem. Emphasizing some of the recent studies, a lack of late or absenteeism There are many studies showing the benefits of promoting future school start-up times, such as teenage car accidents, the most important being the level of depression, the level is low (National Sleep Foundation, The There are some great summaries from New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Today's Psychology).

Teenage timelines, also known as delayed sleep syndrome, make teens young people inconsistent with typical timetables, especially at the start time of their early childhood. In recent years, efforts have been made to change the break between the adolescent natural biology program and the school schedule. Schools across the country started to consider slow start times. It is common for children to develop an inconsistent sleep schedule in adolescence. Later on school weekend late, many teenagers slept late at the weekend as a way to recover from their accumulated sleeping debt. But sleeping late at the end of the week makes it harder for them to sleep within a reasonable time of the week, as they can only strengthen and strengthen the circadian clock delay. This unstable sleep schedule makes a teenager into a vicious circle and attempts daytime vigilance to cope with the increase in sleep disorder all day and feels tired as the week goes on.
