Why this petition matters

Started by Armando Ramirez

for our entire lives we've known only one thing which is too wake up on time for school no matter how tired and how early it is. It's time to change that. During the teen years our bodies require 8-10 hours of sleep, but most only get between 6-7 hours. Our brains circadian rhythm is wired to make us feel more tired the later it gets, and to sleep later in the morning, but because of the early start of highschool we have no way to get our required sleep. I propose we start school at least one hour later to start, and start class at 8:15, yes this would make our day end later, but I and others would rather sleep just a little longer.
