Having a later start in the morning would allow students to get more sleep at night and be more prepared for the next school day. There are many students that are involved with extra curricular activities like sports, music, jobs, and more. Those students get home at a late hour and still have to worry about doing their homework for the next school day. Some students are so tired they do not even attempt there homework because they know they need to catch up on their sleep. If the school day was started at a later time, students would not be nearly as stressed with homework because they know they can still get a lot of sleep. For teenagers in high school, the amount of sleep is greatly needed for the next day, and it has been proven by professionals. High School students need more than 9 hours of sleep each night, but the average is 7 hours. There are students who get loaded up with homework and only get 4 to 5 hours of sleep, and that is not healthy for anyone, especially a high school student. We need to have a later start in the school day to allow students to be more energized and rested up for what is ahead of them in the future. Overall, moving back the start time for school only helps the students be more prepared and a better learner for the next day of school!
