The 'Acronym', our student newspaper, reports that the average student goes to sleep at 1:30 am. 1 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 2 to do.
Some even "pull all-nighters". These are lazy students who have homework due (到期) the next day that they haven't done. In the morning they don't look 3 and you can tell who's been doing it.
Maybe our lack of sleep is 4 laziness - I think I'm a fairly lazy student - or maybe it's because we have too much to do in American high schools.
I 5 go to bed around midnight. If I stayed up past 1:30 am, I wouldn't get any work done. I'd be 6 at my computer. My classes begin at 7:30. I'm 7 awake in my first class. By the second, I'm slightly drowsy. By my third class, I'm sleepy. By midday I'm finally 8 awake. But by 3:00 pm, I'm slowing down again. Yet I get more sleep than the Acronym's "average student".
Most American high schools seem to have a similar 9 with sleepy students.
High school classes start at 7:30, so students have to wake up one and a half hours before that to get ready and 10 the bus. It's believed that lack of sleep can damage both grades and health.
Some schools are paying attention. Classes in those schools start at 8:30.
