Teens need at least nine hours of sleep a night, though few get that much and early school start times don't help. Here's what parents can do.
Comment: oh, and I have a life.
Comment: I'm 16, a junior in high school, taking 3 honors classes, I have practice twice a week for 2 hours and another practice once a week for 4 hours, I'm in two other clubs, one that meets twice a week for 2 hours after school on the same days that I have practice for 2 hours, and I get all my homework done and I'm usually in bed by ten. It's all a matter of how you spend your time.
Comment: Ok....I see your point, but there is one other factor that you guys aren't getting. I'm 15 and I am in high school. The whole sleep thing totally realates to me, but just because I'm wanting to stay up isn't my problem, homework is. On average, I'm up un til 11:30 just doing homework, if I DIDN"t have homework I could be in bed by like 9:00. Because of this homework deal, I am unable to have a life outside of school. Many of my friends and peers agree with me. And so do most of their parents.
