In 2021, it ranged from 71% in South Dakota to 84% in Pennsylvania. According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) a teenager needs between 8 and 10 hours of sleep every night. Most teenagers only get about 6.5-7.5 hours sleep per night. Johns Hopkins Medical School argues that sleep-deprived students face a 33% increase in dementia risk; a 48% increase in heart disease risk; and an increased risk of depression, anxiety, and poor judgment.  More sleep can positively impact students’ mental health, reducing anxiety and depression. Cons from Education Weekly: Research from the National Center for Education Statistics indicates that 75% of high school students reported that early dismissal allows them to participate more frequently in extracurricular activities. A later start may interfere with after-school activities and after-school tutoring. A late start time will disrupt parents’ schedules and impose a hardship on many working families. According to National Sleep Foundation, 63% of parents prefer early school start times because it aligns with their work schedules. *Plan and outline your essay before you write.
