If you want better grades and more sleep, school should start later. Many schools are considering early start times. In fact, at least three schools in Maine are considering starting school later.

Whenever the alarm goes off almost everyone wants to hit the snooze button. Kids are not getting enough sleep, but is starting school later the solution?

However, some teens aren 't getting the 8.5 hours of sleep they need, and believe the school is responsible for it. In most districts, schools start times around 7:00 am in some cases.

On the other hand, other people think that the school day should stay the same.
