Persuasive Essay on Why School Should Start at 10AM

78% of students want school to start later because they cannot wake up in the morning. Waking up at 10AM is better than waking up at 7AM. Because 70% of students believe that their grades will improve if they have more sleep. Plus the students felt that they will have more confidence (including me) because of the improving grades. That will improve their mental health and make them happier too. In addition, waking up early makes them more unattainable for knowledge at school.  

Furthermore, waking up at 7AM is bad because it would ruin the students' sleep which is necessary for paying attention in class, it undermines students' ability to learn in school, and it can also increase fatigue making them want to sleep in class. Students need more sleep than adults. Students need 10 hours of sleep and most of the students sleep around 11AM, which makes them sleep for 6 hours and 30 minutes. Schools expect you to be able to be awake and retraining information. With school starting at 7AM and students usually sleeping around 11AM this is very hard and frustrating to do. However the result of this will be that there will be less education for students and less socialization. 

For instance, students that get enough rest are usually really good at retaining information. They get better sleep and they let their natural sleep cycle work. Letting their natural sleep cycle perform makes them able to pay attention in class, and make them better at answering and reasoning for their answer. Students might just not rely on caffeine as some do just that to pay attention in class. More sleep will also help them in asking questions to the teacher, making them understand the methods or teachings the teacher is giving. In contrast teachers will get paid less because of working hours and the kids will play more videogames because if school started at 10AM and kids sleep when their natural sleep cycle says so, they would have more late night gaming sessions which will make them forget a lot of things they did at school. 

In example, waking up at 6 when your body doesn't want to will make you tired. And everyone has a different sleep cycle. I feel that I could be getting better grades if sleep was allowed for more hours by school. Everyone is different and even the schools say that. For some reason they make all of us wake up at 7. They are going against their own teachings because they are saying “We all are different.” So we all are different but they make us wake up at 7 in the morning. But for this there will be less studying in the afternoon and more at night because of school starting late they would sleep more later. 

Why school should start at 10AM is because of a natural sleep cycle for almost all the students and the students would not rely on caffeine to stay awake in class. They would have better mental health because having a natural sleep cycle will make them more attentive in class resulting in better marks. And they would less stress because of their increase of confidence in academics and them, having a better sleep cycle so knowing that they would not have to relearn everything at home because of fatigue in classrooms. So this is the reason why school should start at 10AM.
