Many civilians are noticing that many schools in U.S. are starting before 8:30, “In more than 40 states, at least 75 percent of public schools start earlier than 8:30 a.m., according to the CDC’s report.” The CDC says that that school plays a big part in a student's everyday life. But really when you take a …show more content…
Parents actually feel proud of schools starting earlier because one parent (not going to give names) said “The night before the first day of school is pretty much parenthood's Christmas eve.” you have to give names or say “parent”This shows how happy parents are when the students are either going to school early and or excited for school to start. It is sad how some parents that don’t understand how dangerous it can be to have a student go to school early. Explain How dangerous is it for kids who don’t get enough sleep.
How can students that don’t have enough sleep be bad for them? Sleep is very important for your brain to think and learn, for example if your don’t don’t sleep enough your brain may forget to breath. “Teens need about 8 to 10 hours of sleep each night to function best. Most teens do not get enough sleep — one study found that only 15% reported sleeping 8 1/2 hours on school nights.” This percentage is really hard for students who have to wake up early for school, who have a challenging school too. If students don’t get enough sleep, then how does it affect students school …show more content…
I think teens and children should do their school work, because they need to learn, grow and sometimes have fun while doing it. But if students lack sleep then they don’t get to have this fun. “Many competing theories have been made to discover the possible connections between sleep and learning in humans. Research indicates that sleep does more than allow the brain to rest. It also aids in the consolidation of long-term memories. REM sleep and slow-wave sleep play different roles in memory consolidation. REM is associated with the consolidation of nondeclarative (implicit) memories. An example of a nondeclarative memory would be a task that we can do without consciously thinking about it, such as riding a bike. Slow-wave, or non-REM (NREM) sleep, is associated with the consolidation of declarative (explicit) memories. These are facts that need to be consciously remembered, such as dates for a history class. Popular sayings can reflect the notion that remolded memories produce new creative associations in the morning, and that performance often improves after a time-interval that includes sleep. Current studies demonstrate that a healthy sleep produces a significant learning-dependent performance boost. The idea is that sleep helps the brain to edit its memory, looking for important patterns and extracting overarching rules which could be described as 'the gist', and integrating this with existing memory.
