Many high-school students get little to no sleep during the week because of school. Since this trend of instagram pages posting pictures of students sleeping has arisen, it is shown now more than ever. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. The response most students get is “it’s because your staying up late”, yes we are doing the assignments we are being told has to be done. “June, July and August saw a decrease in suicide rates of 1.38 per 100,000 people for 14 to 17 year olds”. This could have a direct connection to the fact students are not in school anymore. Because we also see the rates go back up once students are going back to school. We are tired and exhausted from school itself. We are told to stop using our phones as much then, but what you do not realize is that our phones is how we interact with the world around us. We are going to school for 6-7 hours a day 5 days a week and on top of that we get homework. WE HAVE NO TIME TO SLEEP! When we fall asleep in class we are not learning anything. We are just asking for a break in the day, or even better we start school later so we get time to get a proper rest.
