at night i can never get to sleep inless it's around 2 or 3 in ther morning. having to wake up at 7 the next day means i only have 4 hours of sleep! I thought i was weird but reading this article just straightens out all my worries=] i am sooo tired the whole day at school and just want tto nodd off to sleep. starting later means i get more and sleep and can pay more attention in clas! this is a brilliant idea!

i go to bed at about 8.30 - 9.30 and wake up at 6.00AM so i can catch the bus at 7.10, im not complaining! i think it is better that school starts early, because then you have more time in the afternoon.

yeahh it would for school to start earlier but i actually like it the way it is atm...i get up at 530 each morning to get the bus at 730 but most times miss it anyways. I would overall prefer it too stay how it is honestly. and i dont know why you all are complaining about school i am in grade 11 and loving it miss grade 10 soo much though =[ tooo much work but my teachers are awesome i talk to them about anything ! haha and my subjects are great too soo thats a big bonus ! I honestly dont want school to end. with the economic crisis and shizz how are we all going to get jobs in the end. it has all come at a really big time. and i also have to catch buses [4 a day] soo it would suck for me to have to get home in darkness wouldnt it? soo noo keep it how it is. thanks for listening=] whites hill state college rep !

i have 2 wake up at 6 every morning... it would be so frikin gud if i could sleep in for bout another hour or 2. LOL.. wish skool was neva invented in the first place... would be sooo gud to have no skool nd just hang with friends and go shopping all day..LOLZ..

I go to bed everynight at about 10 but dont fall asleep till about 12 or sometimes even 2. I have to get up at 7 every morning to leave at 7 30 to catch the bus. Iv found that if I dont get waken up I naturally wake up at 8. The extra hour in the morning would be a dream come true.

I honestly think that if school started later it would be horrible.The whole day would drag on and everyone would get so sick of it. I would rather go and get it over and done with and then get home as quick as possible.

For everyone out there saying that teens are lazy because they're tired in the morning, its not OUR fault. Scentific research has shown that its not us its our hormones. I dont think it should start later because ppl do have lives outside school but i do think ppl should stop saying that we're lazy!

i dont think there is no of point starting school late or early because if schools starts late in the morning then the teenagers will only want to stay up late even more , but if schools start in the morning then the students will be tired for the first period if not late for class. It will be good if the school tuckshop would sell morning breakfast for the student who didnt have breakfast.

I have heaps of trouble getting to sleep at night, no matter what time i go to bed. I often can't get to sleep until 2.00 or 3.00 in the morning- no matter what. I wake up tired, and come home from school absouletly exhausted, struggling to do homework in the extra 'hour' we have by going to school earlier anyway. It's true that teenagers realease a hormone that keeps them up, and it usually is at about 11.00pm. So, it's not like teenagers are just tired from 'staying up all night and partying.' Maybe only half-an-hour.

I think starting school later would be a good idea! I always have so much trouble getting to sleep early and then can barely wake up in the morning! For those people who are saying we should be able to get up blah blah blah, have you even read the article? As for work, but I'm sure that place's would have shifts after the new school times aswell.
