To the Editor:
I think that Bowling Green Middle/High School should have a better schedule and not start at the crack of
dawn. School should start on the two hour delay schedule instead of our schedule now because kids come
to school and, if they have a class where it is absolutely necessary to be paying attention then they
won’t be able to because half of them will be asleep because they aren’t getting enough sleep. This can
also affect a teenager’s optimal sleep schedule. It is actually unhealthy not to get at least 10 hours
of sleep per night and over sleeping can be even worse for you. The affects of a teenager who has not
gotten enough sleep can cause heart problems and it can also happen to teenagers who over sleep. If you
sleep too much it can also cause various health problems. Thank you for your time.
