We used to get nap time in kindergarten, but that was back when we could actually sleep at night. High school kids are still growing and need more sleep than adults. Most of the time, we’re awake at night doing homework, studying, thinking, or we just can’t seem to go to sleep. According to the National Sleep Foundation, only 15% of teens get the 8-10 hours of sleep we need to be healthy. We need more sleep. We need nap time at school. The average school day lasts about six and a half hours, most of the time with only one break in the day, which is lunch. Lunch is a time for teens to eat and sometimes do work. Lunch time isn’t the time to take a nap. We need a set time where everyone could an just take a break to sleep and/or meditate. According to a poll by GlobeNewswire, only 16% of teens were rarely or never stressed. This proves that us teens do need a break to calm down once and a while. Nap time would help us mentally and academically. All that we’re asking for is a set time for naps during school, for example breaks no longer than 45 minutes. Is that too much to ask?
