Surveys of American teenagers find that about half of them do not get enough sleep on school nights. They get an average of sixty to ninety minutes less than experts say they need One reason for this is biology Experts say teens are biologically programmed to go to sleep and wake up later than other age groups. Yet many schools start classes as early seven A M .As a result，many students go to class like sixteen—year old Danny He plays two sports，lacrosse and football，active—except in the morning.
DANNY：“Getting up in the morning is pretty terrible I'm just very out of it“tired
Through first and second period I can barely stay awake”.

health It can affect not just their ability．In the classroom hut also on the sports field and on the
road．”Breus says any tired driver is dangerous．but especially a teenager with a lack of experience. So what can schools do about sleepy students? The psychologist says one thing they can do is start classes later in the morning. He points to studies showing that students can improve by a full letter grade in their first—and second—period classes.
Peterson is the head of St. George's School in the northeastern state of Rhode Island．He wanted to see if a thirty-minute delay would make a difference It did．He says visits to the health
center by tired students decreased by half Late arrivals to first period fell by a third．And students Reported that they were less sleepy during the day.
Peterson knows that changing start times is easier at a small．private boarding school like his．But he is hopeful that other schools will find away“In the end．schools ought to do what's the right Thing for their students．first and leading”.
