Naptime should be included in high school because if you’ve been doing work all day that can make you tired, lazy and not want to do anything. But, if you go to take a nap you’ll have the energy to do your work and not feel drained. According to Education Week by Sarah D Sparks “naps may solve the problem of chronicle sleep deprived students and students who sleep gets healthier physically and mentally.
According to Education Weekly, “Nearly 7 in 10 U.S. teenagers get less than the recommended eight hours of sleep a night, with some getting less than six hours on weekdays. In middle and high school, that sleep deficit is driven by a perfect storm of changing adolescent sleep cycles, increased homework and extracurricular activities, and rising late-night use of technology. While some high schools across the country have tried to counter the problem with later school start times or less homework, these attempts often face budget or parental pushback.”
Students who sleep will be mentally prepared for doing work and physically up to moving and getting the work done.
This proves my point because students who don’t sleep can get bad grades because they’re always sleepy so they won’t be physically mentally or socially prepared to get their work done.
This is important because if kids get good grades, they can feel good about themselves and make something of themselves in life.
Therefore, Students should be able to have a naptime in school to mentally be able to focus on their work and their surroundings.
