Summary: Teens, scientists, and parents all agree that sleep is essential to retain more knowledge during school. School administrators around the United States are reluctantly now complying to this request to start school later. According to many doctors around the states getting more sleep can "lead to improvements not only in their grades but also other areas of their lives".  Sleep deprivation can lead to overall poor health and can impact your report card as well. Seattle School Boards have agreed to delay all high school start times to 8:45 am. This movement has a long ways to go and hopefully in a few years all high schools will adapt to this new policy. Research shows later start times help combat sleep deprivation in teens, who naturally fall asleep later than their parents would like. They also improve academic success, attendance and mental health and cut sleep-related car accidents. High school students agree that this change in their bell schedule will help them get more sleep and not have them struggling to stay awake.

Connection to health class: This article relates to health class because we just finished learning about sleep. This article supports the information we learned in health,and how sleep can affect both your mental and physical health. I believe this new policy will be favored by the majority of students and Aragon and other schools in the district. I believe this policy will benefit all members of the Aragon community including students, parents, staff, and teachers, and I hope this will be reinforced in California soon. 

Question: Would changing the bell schedules result in a higher degree of education for all students?
