School should start later and we should be able to chose when we have a study period, if we want one, to study for tests and complete any assignments we can't get done at home.
Studies have shown that not getting enough sleep can lower your alertness by as much as 32% (percent from WebMD’s article “Chronic Sleep Deprivation and Health Effects.”, written by Micheal J. Breus) so if school started later students could have more time to sleep in the morning and the study period would help students who can't work at home and students don't have to stay up as late doing homework.
Those who sign below agree that school should start at least an hour later, and students should get to choose if they want to have a morning study period or afternoon study period.
We ask the Chapel Hill, Carboro school district to at least consider the benefits it could have for students.
