Loading ...ERG. I just read this article about sleep and adolescents. So some weird chemical thing happens and teens are SUPPOSED to stay up until midnight-ish and wake up aroudn 10:00 in the morning. Which is true! Even if I’m super tired I CANT go to sleep until at least 11. Next year I’m going into ninth grade (high school) and I’ll have to get up at 6:00 every morning. But I’m supposed to go to bed at 8:00 to get ten friggin hours of sleep? No way. Look at it this way: each day of school I’m GOING TO HAVE 2-3 HOURS OF EXTRACURRICULARS, AND 3-4 HOURS OF HOMEWORK. That means 5-7 hours of crap. (excuse my language :p) I get home at 2:30. Hmm, let’s see, if I have the max amount of stuff that day, I WONT BE ABLE TO EVEN GO TO SLEEP UNTIL 9:30. (Plus I actually like to eat dinner sometimes. Or take a shower. Or perhaps indulge in a half hour of TV or computer.) And even if it was the minimum amount of stuff that day, then I would only have an extra half hour to do what I wanted. THAT IS CRAZY. THAT IS NOT RIGHT. I’M SORRY. IT JUST DOESN’T WORK.

Its ok kid, you’ll get used to going to bed late and getting up super early. In going to be in 11th grade when school starts and I am taking college classes while I’m in highschool. I feel your pain. But your sleeping cycle will fall into a pattern and if you like caffiene (even though its not very good for you) it will become your new bestfriend.
