Question
On weekdays, schools usually start between 6 and 8 am and end between 3 and 4 pm But since most students have to get up an hour before school starts, if all students went to bed at 11 pm and woke up at 6 am, they would have only slept for seven hours. Teens generally need around ten hours of sleep per day. School should start later in the day and be shorter to solve this issue. For example, if school started at 9 am, and ended at 3 pm, teens would have more time to sleep and stay up a little later to finish their homework and do other things they want to do.
When a teenager gets home from school, usually around 4pm, they will either go home and do homework or go to a club/sport. Most clubs/sports last around 2 hours, meaning that most teens don’t even end up getting home until 5-6pm. If the student does a club/sport and gets home at 5-6 they will probably now have to eat dinner, which takes 30 minutes to an hour. And finally, they will have to do homework which takes another hour. This means that by the time the teen has finished their homework, club/sport, and dinner, it would be 8pm which is what the teen should go to bed at to maximize their hours of sleep. However, most teens would want to do something whether that be watching tv or playing video games or reading or doing a hobby. Teenagers on average spend at least 3-5 hours per day on social medias meaning that they would be staying up till 11pm to 1am! Although this seems like the teens fault, the teenager just wants to have time to themselves, and 3-5 hours is way less than the amount of time school takes is it not? So why should us teenagers be rewarded no time to do anything from completing all that school? Sure, teenagers get weekends but that really only gives teens freedom to do what they want for a little over a quarter of the week.
When most teenagers wake up to go to school, they are most likely groggy, sluggish, and tired until around 11am. This means that most classes that fall during this period of “waking up,” they probably won’t learn as much and might even struggle more because of this drowsiness. For example, a student in an early starting class might get asked to do a math problem, they look at the teacher with their eyes half open and take a second to mummer the answer, sure the answer might be right, but it still took longer than it should have. So, if school started later in the day and ended at the same time it wouldn’t sacrifice their schedules after school and would reduce the period of grogginess. And to balance out the class time lost, schools could just take early out on Fridays away and turn them into normal school days.

In conclusion, adjusting school start times to later in the morning can significantly benefit teenagers' overall well-being and academic performance. By allowing for more sleep, students can improve their focus and engagement during classes, ultimately leading to better learning outcomes. Additionally, a more balanced schedule provides teenagers with precious free time for personal interests, hobbies, and social activities, which are crucial for their development. The current system, with its early wake-up calls and extensive homework demands, often leaves teens feeling exhausted and overwhelmed. Overall, re-evaluating school schedules to prioritize students' health and happiness is essential in fostering a more productive learning environment.
