What was it like growing up as a teenager? Compared to today it might be a little different with most teenagers having more things to keep them occupied nowadays smartphones, tablets, video games, etc. But what really impacts a teenagers sleep schedule, many factors apply to this homework, sports, after school activities, hanging out with friends. According to a article ” It’s back to class, and less sleep, for many high schoolers” by Chicago Tribune it says many teenagers aren’t getting the sleep that they are supposed to be getting every-night instead they are getting as much as seven and a half hours asleep others who just lay awake contemplating about life maybe get less or no sleep at all. The human body needs at least eight to nine hours of sleep, but instead its less for teenagers. Degenerate
Teenagers engender their sleeping habits by doing things that aren’t necessary, example stressing themselves with unnecessary things, but some things aren’t always inevitable such as homework. Meanwhile school hours aren’t the best either because some schools start early as seven o’clock and according to scientist school should start later on in the day. Who are the degenerated students, schools, school council? Also cognate to this in a article “Sleep in Adolescents” it says that schools start early and students typically wake up two hours just get ready and get to school on time. Teenagers also experience a change in moods, behavior, academic performance etc. They parturient and it begins to become a everyday habit for them, it keeps them form focusing on their main objective.
Researchers give their input about what teens go through and according to this quote “According to researchers, students don’t only lose sleep because they’re too busy. It’s also because of changes in young peoples’ bodies” while this may be in fact be true. Teenagers cant feign this problem its a phase that every person went through. Schools are trying to help but their are a lot of things that affect this change like bus schedules and also after school activities that are vital for a students success. While maybe later in the future it can be transfigured into a better and more effective time for teenagers so it can help them in the long run. Meanwhile for now all they can do is just go through it and hope for a change soon.
