It is reported that many middle school students are just not getting enough sleep, especially during the school week. The problem seems to get worse as they get older. Grade 7 students sleep 8.4 hours a school night, and Grade 9 students only 6.9 hours.

(3) It’s also reported that not getting enough sleep can cause problems in a student’s life. Many students fall asleep in school or while doing their homework, so it is not surprising that they get lower grades than those who get enough sleep.

Scientists suggest nine hours a night for middle school students. Of the students who feel unhappy and nervous, 73% don’t get enough sleep at night. Why aren’t students getting enough sleep?
