Sleep Deprivation and Exercise
Michelle, Hannah, Eliza, and Eliana
Later start time
Teens have trouble falling asleep before 11pm
Their deepest sleep point is around 7am
After or the time that most teens wake up for school
Early Morning Classes
Test showed that students who were assigned early morning classes didn’t perform as well
Their grades were lower overall compared to students in classes with later start times
What happens when you don’t sleep?
Sleep Deprivation links to…
Depression, suicide thoughts, weight gain, risky behavior in teens
Teens who drive/walk to school without enough sleep or while its dark are more likely to have accidents
Tendency to get up later until age 19.5 in women and 21 in men
At this point they start waking up earlier again
By the age of 55-60 you are waking up the same time you were at the age of 10
Exercise and the Brain
Chemicals Roles
Serotonin: lifts mood
Epinephrine: response to stress/ fear
Dopamine: signals pleasure and makes you happy
Endorphin: bodies natural pain killer
Why exercise is necessary
Increases blood calcium which stimulates dopamine production and uptake in your brain
Helps produce serotonin/ epinephrine/ dopamine/ endorphin
These chemicals can help students by lifting their mood, keep them active and healthy, and give them a break from academic classes like science, history, language arts, math, etc.
Breaks from academic classes
Down time and breaks from classes like math or history help reinforce new connections of new things you’ve learned that day
That is why we have gym class for 4th period- to help strengthen things you learned in the first 3 periods
It is important to support these new memories so breaks are important
Gym class every day
Gym is a good way of exercise
Exercise elevates mood by producing the chemicals we just mentioned
It is necessary for Middle school students to have a good mood because if they didn’t they could get stressed and stress has a negative impact on the brain
Updated Schedule
With our new schedule…
Classes will start two hours later because the teen brain stops developing melatonin later than adult brains which makes them tired and less focused in the morning
Gym class everyday before lunch so students get daily exercise
School ends at 4:10 PM, still leaving enough time for an after school activity
