There was a long discussion on the sleep analysis of adolescents and the teenagers. The physicians have concluded a number of effects of the school being started too early in the morning. The new generation has strong bonds with the social media. There are a number of positive as well as negative impacts of the social media in which the most highlighted one is the disturbed sleeping timetable because of late night internet surfing and social media chats. Their activities result in less sleep and having trouble in being active in the classroom. The main aim of the paper is to discuss the positive and negative impacts on the teenagers of schools in late hours.
There are a number of positive factors which are considered for the consideration of the schools to start a bit later in the day rather than early in the morning. Kids have to struggle to reach school well on time with incomplete sleep and difficulty in maintaining the sound learning habits. There are many children who have problems in sleeping well on time at night because of a number of disturbances in which the topmost are parties, social media, and friends. That’s why they are unable to reach school on time. There are research reports which calculated that almost 78% of the students have issues in getting up early in the morning. Only 16% students were observed to have a good sleep because of punctual sleeping schedules because of their parents (Owens, 608-614). Above 60% have claimed that if they would have plenty of sleep as well as the school would start a bit later in the day. The students currently in all over the world are suffering highly with the tough schedules of sleep and school because of difficult mornings.
There are some negative impacts on the teenagers if the school would possibly be started later in the day. One of the main problems that would be created because of the late start of the school would be the irresponsibility of the teenagers for their future life because the offices have a tough schedule and the tolerance level among the employers is extremely low. The parents have their own schedules of work and many other daily activities which would be totally disturbed because of giving pick and drop to the children. The children would also face difficulty in getting engaged in the sports, extracurricular and public schools as most of the daytime will be spent in the school (Owens, 608-614). Another most important problem for the high school teenagers would be the less time to do part-time work for supporting their finances. The students are basically getting prepared for the future, they should have a little tough schedule while growing so that this hard time would be added to their nature, that’s why the school should not start late in the day.
In a nutshell, it can be concluded that the school should start early in the morning because the irresponsibility of the parents should not be considered as a problem for the student’s inability to maintain his timetables. The level of responsibility will be increased with the tough schedules as it is important for the individuals to grow under pressure. The best solution for giving a quality sleep to the teenagers and college students to limit their wakening time and to make their routines to sleep on time. It will help them to wake up early in the morning with a fresh health. The health of the children is important but it is not necessary to change the course of the world but to change the individual’s personal routines which would be helpful to become versatile for different difficult situations.
