Topic proposal

My topic proposal is that high schools need to push their start time to later in the morning. I've done plenty of research regarding sleep and why it's so important for school. High school students are tired all day long because they have to wake up early in the morning and stay functioning until the afternoon. Most of the time, students stay up late to do homework and other obligations. When I had late starts in high school those were the days I was well rested and ready for the day ahead of me, when I woke up at 6, I wasn't. I think this topic is important because sleep is something that affects mental health and if the times don't change then a lot of students could experience mental problems. It's something that can be fixed and I think that needs to be addressed as well.

Topic

My topic is going to be how school is affected by amount of sleep. In high school we woke up at 6 am every day and didn't have enough sleep to function throughout the day. In college however, people are able to sleep longer making their moods lifted and their studies better. I want to see the difference in peoples moods and school work to see if sleep affects that. 1. Do you feel that your mood is affected by sleep? 2. Do you feel that when you sleep longer its better for your school work? I am going to research about high school students mainly because that's where this issue is a bigger problem but I also want to tie in college students because we are also affected and can be the main answer to this question since we are able to wake up later.
