From the results of a survey about school start times, Santa Monica teens receive a concerning average of 6.12 hours of sleep on school nights, which, compared to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended in 10 hours of sleep every night, is proof of a problem. Santa Monica High School currently starts at 8:15 am and results from the survey show the average SAMOHI student gets up at 6:15 am. To stay in accordance with the CDC's standards for a healthy sleep schedule, SAMOHI teenagers would have to go to bed at 8:15 am. This is not only unreasonable considering homework, Sports, and other extracurricular activities, but according to the CDC, going to bed this early is a biological impossibility for teenagers without addicting and harmful sleeping drugs. Our proposal is not demanding that school start at 10:00 to allow teenagers the full to 10 hours of sleep we, need but is simply requesting a baby step of an 8:30 am start limit. Recent efforts of the administration to start school at 8:08 (7 minutes earlier) brought this issue to our attention and we would like preventative measures of this happening and 15 minutes extra of sleep in the morning.
