And so back to today's topic. It is important to have a healthy schedule for an adult as well as children. And it is healthy for our body. And it helps you keep the stress off of your body.
Writing out and planning your day is a great thing to do, and you don't feel like your life is a mess. Having a schedule keeps you on track with your goals in life that you want to pursue and get work done. For the younger children, their basic schedule consists mostly with school and extra activities. This helps them grow the habit of their regular routine and keeps everything on time.
For example, their lunch time, dinner time, sleeping time, and other routines. However, children and teens nowadays are very busy. I need a lot of time to get things done. Besides school, they have sports, lessons, activities, and other activities.
After coming home from school, they need to get their soccer practice, which takes about two hours. And when they get home, they relax for about an hour and eat dinner. And by the time it is time to do homework, it is seven o'clock. So high school students even work on weekdays.
And typical medical and high school homework takes about three hours or more depending on assignments and distractions. I know I get a lot of homework and just recently I've been my normal timing for this whole week because I'm around one o'clock a day. So however, when they get to sleep, it is around midnight or sometimes even later. And this is where the problem kicks in.
When students are going to sleep at midnight or later, they only get a few hours to sleep until they wake up for school again. It is essential for high school students to get eight to nine hours to sleep. But with everything going on in the day of teenager, now it is hard to get the needed amount of sleep. For this reason, parents, educators, sleep scientists, and students have started a group called Start School Later to increase public awareness about the relationship between sleep and school hours, and to ensure ensuring school start times compatible with health, safety, education, and equity.
And article on kidshealth.org says that sleep, because it affects everything from someone's ability to pay attention in class to his or her mood. According to a national sleep foundation in America, more than 25% of high school students fall asleep in class, and experts have tried to last sleep to poor grades. Black asleep also damages teens' ability to do their best in athletics. So, responses and goals concentration from Black asleep don't just affect school or sports performance.
One and half of teens surveyed reported that they have driven a car while driving over the pasture, and 15% said they drove drowsy at least one of the weeks. The National Highway Safety Traffic Administration estimates that more than 100,000 accidents, 40,000 injuries, and 1,500 people are killed in the US every year in crashes caused by drivers who are simply tired. Young people under the age of 25 are far more likely to be involved in driving crashes. Black asleep is also linked to emotional troubles, such as feeling of sadness and depression.
Sleep helps kids physically help be also by slowing the body's system to re-energize us for everyday activities. This podcast is brought to you by Silicon Valley High School.

Check us out at svhs.co. Most of what it says, however, I also believe that now teachers have easier access to distractions, specifically cell phones, as I mentioned in the last episode last week. And the cell phone can be a very big distraction, so some students who procrastinate may also lead to late sleeping. It is efficient in what they need to do.
I'm sure they can get homework and other things done on time before midnight. But besides the distractions, no matter how organized this is, it sometimes can get too much. How increasing the time for school-help students and high school students? Well, it does improve alertness, memory, attention, and cognitive processing skills.
It also improves academic performance that may be twice as great in disadvantage of students. Reducing tardiness, curate-durrency, and drop-out rates. More sleep per night reduces fatigue, and reduces depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. It improves athletic performance, reduces risk of obesity, eating disorders, and diabetes.
It improves mood and impulse control. The stronger Indian system produces risk of stimulant and other substance abuse and high-risk health behaviors, especially during early-unto-go-like hours and the afternoon. Reduced linkedities, fear-crat-car crashes, and better psychomotor performance increases the visibility during communist school. Long-term economic benefits.
A retail report published by the Brookings Institution predicts that the starting high schools one hour later would result in roughly $17,500 in increased future earning per student in present value. A benefit cost ratio of at least 91. To learn more about this and the program, you can go to www.ourschoollader.net. Some schools have already made changes according to this, and however not many all over the state.
My school has been talking about how they have been trying. It was important that we want to ensure that there are no barriers. That was today's topic, and next week's show will be on the list. There's a note from Tamla.
She has our audience notes, new heights of all families, regardless of school backgrounds. However, she wanted me to mention that the blow facts are used to think about. Home school families are required to complete five hours a day of school or 25 hours a week compared to those students that go to school for eight hours and have three hours of homework. Home school students also have classes counted at their specific needs and four higher-arm achievement tests.
