So our live should revolve around school and sleep? What happened to you know... LIFE

Thanks, Katie. You put me to sleep. But you'd make Eor smile.

I just finished my senior year and averaged like so: feb to april was 6-5 hours, may 5-3, june was 4 and 1/2 to 2 (I am a medium paced worker). and you completely correct, it does affect your grades despite staying up so late for completing assignments and studying. But it's also from extra curricular and commitments that make you come home late...

if high school is bad, university will be probably a million times worse. Would you be able to report on lack of shut eye+ university students?

in other words, everyone is retarded nowadays

Y´know what to do when people have sleep deficite? START SCHOOL LATER.

Isn't the reccomended sleep time 8 hours? If you get up at 6 clock and go to bed at ten that would be nine hours! We already have enough sleep as it is so Katie can just rip that little thing out of her notebook.

Ok people, you should def try and sleep only 2-3 hours a day and survive for the REST of your life...i'm sure you'll be fine right? wrong, there's a reason why our body naturally feels tired and needs sleep you idiots...go read a human physiology book

[mazingmikey]

yeah no kidding, fuck sleep thats when you have to party, and school is to wear off the hangover!

nuff said.

That's stupid the more sleep the smarter you get? So if you stay up 1 hour later than most people you are 1 hour dumber of learning freakin lies

[MonokuroBooHokKan]

Psh, plenty of time to sleep when you're dead.

[Skiiutah]

Good point Katie. Now all you need to do is raise the minimum wage and make a 2-4 hour economic recess for naps mandatory in the United States.

Pointing out the problem is one thing, but ignoring the macro-social changes that have caused it is another.
