Why We Should Have Nap Time In School

Have you ever noticed how tired some kids are in school? Have you noticed that the students can’t focus on their work? Have you noticed that they are up late trying to finish their homework? Well, I have the solution. I think that we should have nap time in school. With naptime, students will be able to function more easily and to a higher standard. As Anton Anderson, a high school teacher from Connecticut said, 20 extra minutes a day isn’t a substitute for 8 to 10 hours of sleep every night, but it does recharge the batteries. If 20 minutes does this much, think about what 40 minutes could do.

Everyone in America has to go to school at some point in their life. Most students in California attend school for 6 hours a day. In Adelanto,Ca students learn math,science,language arts,history, and P.E. in that time. Some students are struggling academically with this schedule. I believe that students don’t need to go to school 8 hours a day to be successful.

What do people think of when they first hear the word nap? Everyday sayings such as snatching a nap, being caught napping, snoozing, or stealing forty winks are all beneficial daily activities we need to add to our busy life. If we do, we will be more awake and capable to reach our full potential as an individual. People don’t realize how important a nap can be. Although popular beliefs suggest that naps are a waste of time, naps actually increase productivity by resting the brain.

School is where we are to learn and succeed in life but by being tired and not fully there in our brains it stops us from doing what we need to do. Schools should consider starting later in the day and having fewer classes that are electives. If school started later everyone could get the amount of sleep they need to function through the whole day without messing up on their studies. The teachers would also get some more sleep time and so they could teach their class better without being tired and exhausted from teaching the day

The school board of the district should not make the school day longer by adding an extra hour. Kid’s will get tired, not being able to focus and stay off task. Kid’s also need time for basic necessities, like eating dinner, sleeping a full eight hours, being social, and even for some kids, working at jobs.

First, reason i do not believe naps are beneficial is because people that take naps tend to stay groggy for the rest of the day. Normally when you take a nap you sleep longer than intended which will cause problems when you try to go to bed at night. Generally people do not need naps during the day unless they were kept up during there nighttime sleep schedule. If you are tired during the day and a nap is needed you could have a illness that needs to be treated. Other reasons could be that there is too much stress or not

Some people think that napping is for little kids. Also some think it for people when they are tired. I think that naps are good for you. There are a lot of reasons you should take a nap or not i think we should take naps.

One reason I am against adding more hours to the school day is because students will be more tired. The school board and many parents like the idea of having

I strongly agree that taking a nap in the afternoon will have a person feeling less tiressness though-out the day. The (NASA) study have show that when people take naps they performan better at work. Also, when taking a nap will improve people's problem-solving skills. When taking a nap will decrase your chances of a heart attack or heart disease.

The United States is a sleep-deprived nation. Napping can relieve tiredness and improve performance. Taking a nap can help people do more without being tired.

It is common for students to be tired when they arrive to school everyday whether it is a Monday or the first day back from a long break. I believe that middle and high schools should have designated times for students to be able to take short naps because it helps students refocus.

I think that we should be able to sleep in 2 hours every day so that we will be more well rested to go to our classes for the rest of the day. If you think about it with all of the homework and extracurricular activities we do at the end of the day after school, we are given we can't really get a good night's sleep. Because we end up going to sleep late and getting up early. If we can sleep for an extra two hours every day than we will do better in class because we won't be tired and can stay awake during the rest of our classes.

First of all, naps help people become more alert and help overcome sleep deficiency. The source states “Naps may provide a short-term boost in alertness and performance”(Source #1, Paragraph 3). Naps do not only help people in alertness but also in performance. People need naps for alertness in order to know what is going on. Additionally, the text states “Sleep deficiency can affect people even when they sleep the total number of hours recommended for their age group” (Source 1, Paragraph 6). Naps also help people with sleep deficiency especially when people are not getting enough sleep. Naps are a solution to sleep

Many people don’t get enough sleep, including a majority of teenagers. Most schools start pretty early in the morning and the with extracurricular activities run pretty late, and you still need time to do your homework, by then it’s probably 11 and your just getting ready for bed. According to educationworld.com an English teacher, Anton Anderson, has started an after school club called Power Napping, one of the members Jenna stated “ Obviously it’s no substitute for sleep, but I definitely feel more relaxed afterward.” , Many of the other members feel the same way. The naps have been helping with their busy schedules make it easier to go through each day. But, not all kids go! Should naps be added to the school schedule, so all kids can get that extra fuel?

They know that the media has publicized and shamed napping for adults. They think that functioning adults should be able to work efficiently without napping. While this thinking may have worked in the old days, research now tells us that is incorrect. The majority of adults are busy people, never able to get enough sleep at night. That quick midday nap boosts energy even better than a cup of coffee.
