Middle school and high school students are often affected by not getting enough sleep due to the fact that they may go to bed late, then have to wake up around 5 or 6 in the morning. With certain amounts of sleep (it differs), people may not have enough energy to make it through the day, resulting in not being able to give their full attention to the teacher, also resulting in not knowing instructions for assignments and getting bad grades or giving the student more homework than they already have. Please sign the petition to allow these students to have later school start times.
