Question

The Acronym, our student newspaper, reports that many students go to sleep at 1:30 a. m. Even if that's an exaggeration(夸张) , it's too close to the truth. Scientists say teens should sleep nine hours each night. But that's hard to do.

Some even pull all-nighters. In the morning they don't look good. One of my classmates did a survey on this problem. She found that most kids pull all-nighters to finish homework, but some do it for other reasons, such as playing computer games.

I usually go to bed around midnight. If I stay up past l:30 a. m., I won't get any work done. I'll fall asleep at my computer. My classes begin at 7:30 a. m. I am partly awake in my first class. By midday, I am finally wide-awake. But by 3:00 p. m. I am slowing down again. Yet I get more sleep than the Acronym's many students.

Most American high schools seem to have a similar problem with sleepy students. High school classes start at 7:30 a. m., so students have to wake up one and a half hours before that to get ready and catch the bus. It's believed that lack of sleep can damage (损坏) both grades and health.
