Sleep During Adolescence Essays Example

First Student’s respond: As for me, changing the schedule would affect many aspects of life. I agree with the student’s respond, that it is not possible to change the school schedule without consequences for every member of our society. It is a well-known fact, that teenagers feel a lack of sleep. In addition, teenagers have to wake up earlier, if their school is located far away from their home. As a result, many kids suffer from lack of sleep that affects their mood and behavior. Eventually, adjusting the school schedule involves many efforts. It is very important to analyze both positive and negative effects for adolescents and the whole society.
Second Student’s respond: In my opinion, attendance issues are not considered with the lack of sleep or early schedule. If the adolescent skip classes, it is usually associated with his attitude to school. Kids, who really want to learn, visit all classes even if they have to spend additional time to get to school. It is an aspect of motivation, but not of a school schedule. I also totally disagree with the idea of afternoon session. Firstly, we are not only getting knowledge in school, but we are also learning how to act in society and it is inappropriate to skip classes, because you think that you are different and you need to study at evening. Secondly, it involves a lot of efforts and money supply.
Third Student’s respond: Lack of sleep can lead to emotional instability, irritability and difficulties in communicating (incontinence, explosiveness and aggressiveness). Lack of sleep can disrupt attention, short-term memory, decision-making and response challenges, it is important for the creative process. As we have already discussed, altering the school schedule affects many aspects of our life. For example, transportation, additional activities, rest time and so on. Therefore, before changing the start time closer to 9am, we should clearly analyze how it would affect the life of the children and their parents. We know that adolescents have additional need for sleep. However, why schools should change their schedule? Maybe kids should go to sleep earlier.
