Nap areas in secondary schools

The Issue

Do you get tired in class?.told off for a lack of work because your brain is to tired to process what you are supposed to be doing. Your folded arms so welcoming to just put your head down for a second. Well not anymore!

 I feel that there should be areas that give you a safe space to lay your head down. To give you that boost in energy before carrying on your day. 
You may be wondering “but when would we be able to go there” well i have thought of that to. And not only does it benefit those in dire need for some shut eye but it also allows more time for those uninterested to get there fresh air and exercise. I feel that school lunches should raise from 30 minutes to gobble up your food (risking indigestion), stand in long lines hoping to get food and eat it in time and getting almost no time to talk to friends do revision or go to the toilet as you wait for the long queues to go down. To 50 minutes giving you 20 more minutes (almost double the original time) to rest your head, get the food you need, chat to friends, get valuable revisions time for that upcoming test and go to the toilet without risk of being late.

And i can here you thinking “but we will be let home later” which yes is true but isn't it worth it for that extra time to actually be a kid, a functioning person who is part of a society?

And while teachers say “you should have just slept longer” or “just grow up” like its out fault we are tired. When we are teenagers with hormones which work to make us go to bed later and wake up later so it isn’t our fault that our bodies are designed in a way it works against the school system. When the system should be designed to properly fit our growing bodys and how we naturally work. On top of that how can they expect us to go home and do all the homework piled on top of us all the while trying to maintain relationships and community groups ontop of us actually doing something we enjoy and still get enough sleep.

its not on. So sign my petition today to get safe nap areas in school and longer lunches!
