I know most of you are just like me and hate having to wake up early. Especially when the night before, you had work at your job  and you had to do all of your homework. Sometimes that could keep someone up until 1-2 O’clock and then they have to wake back up at 6:30 and repeat. That is unhealthy to anyone, especially kids who are still growing and developing. Did you know studies show that teenagers need 8-10 hours of sleep in order to have a fully functional day. Because I really didn’t, I’ve been used to not getting the recommended amount of sleep, so much to the point where it felt normal to me. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I really don’t sleep that much. Most days I wake up super tired and I have to fight with myself for the first few periods to stay awake. I know that I, and everyone else, would perform way better in school if we had better sleep. To me, the craziest part is that you are expected to do it five days in a row. My schedule most weeks consists of school, work, sports, homework, then sleep. Normally I get way below 8-10 hours and I just have to deal with it and do the same thing the next day. There are so many times where I have just wanted to skip school and sleep in, sometimes it causes me to fight with my parents and sometimes I even have to try to lie and fake sick. This all comes from not getting enough sleep. I want this to be changed and I know just about everyone else here wants it to be changed too. I’m just asking for everyone to take a minute and sign this real quick in order to increase the chances of this actually happening. Thank you.
