Teenagers
Before puberty, sleep is often fine, no problems. As you enter puberty though, all heck breaks loose!
In your teenage years, your body clock changes so that very often you are more alert during the end of the day. Why? Science isn’t really sure, but teenagers are usually more tired in the morning than they are in the afternoon. Does this sound like you?
To make things worse, if you are alert and awake until late at night, you’ll get less sleep and be even more tired in the morning. As a teen, you need around 9-10 hours of sleep a night.
So if you get up at 6:00 am, you’d have to go to bed by 8:00 pm to get your needed sleep. Who goes to bed at 8:00? No teenager I know. Do you?
Now, the big question: Would you prefer school to start at 9:00 and get out at 4:30, or do you like this early schedule better? Answer the poll question on the right sidebar.
