The three texts deal with the issue of sleep time among teenagers, as well as the time school

starts and its impact on them.


Several points can be made from these documents:
Firstly, teenagers need between 8 and 10 hours of sleep a night, but on average they sleep
less than 7 hours because of the early school start times. So on average they don't get
enough sleep, which can be harmful to their health.
Over 85% of secondary schools in the United States start before 8.30am. This adds to the
lack of sleep among teenagers.
Sleep deprivation affects teenagers' learning and health and is a question of biology, not
attitude.
Secondly, there are a number of advantages and disadvantages to starting school later:
Parents have concerns about their working hours and childcare, especially for younger
children.
There are logistical problems with school transport and extra-curricular activities are
important considerations.
Adjusting school start times has positive effects, including better sleep, less risky behaviour
and better school results.
There are also arguments in favour of starting school earlier:
It is said that getting up early teaches important habits for adult life.
It is also said that an earlier start to school encourages time management, concentration and
productivity.
In short, experts and many health organisations advocate a later start to school for teenagers
because of the positive impact on their health, learning and safety. However, there are
practical and logistical considerations to be taken into account, particularly for parents and
extra-curricular activities. Some argue that getting up early teaches important habits for
adult life, promoting concentration and productivity.
Finally, from my point of view, I think that school should start a little later to give teenagers
more time to sleep. They will then be in a better position to learn and work. I think the
health of teenagers should be the most important thing.
