California Governor Gavin Newson passed a new law on Sunday, Oct. 13th, 2019. The law does not allow most public middle and high schools to start earlier than 8:30 a.m. The premise of the law is to set aside extra time in the morning for teenagers to get more sleep. A huge worry for doctors in the United States has been the issue of sleep deprivation. <\/span><\/p>\n

DHS\u2019 first hour starts at 7:40 a.m. That\u2019s earlier than the California law permits. So, are kids at Dow not getting the correct amount of sleep that they should be? <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI probably get six to seven hours every night, which is not enough,\u201d freshman Evan Hannon said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hannon was homeschooled through all of his middle and elementary school years. When he was home schooled, he got more sleep than he does now in public school. He believes his lack of sleep is negatively affecting his schoolwork.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Johns Hopkins pediatrician Michael Crocetti, teenagers should be getting nine to nine and a half hours of sleep each night. The human brain is developing in new ways when it reaches its teenage years. The appropriate amount of sleep supports that development.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf they just made where we got to school an hour later, it would help a lot,\u201d Hannon said. <\/span><\/p>\n

According to assistant principal Jennifer Coppens, there has not been any talk or ideas regarding pushing the start of the school day back at any of her recent meetings.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere comes a domino effect,\u201d Coppens said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The effect Coppens is speaking of is the fact that if the start of school is moved back an hour, students get out an hour later. All of their after school activities would start later and they would get home later and potentially go to sleep later.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":8277,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[2219,2500,2501],"class_list":["post-14468","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-1-news","tag-alex-futter","tag-coppens","tag-evan-hannon"],"yoast_head":"\nShould MPS' high school hours start an hour earlier? - UPDATE ONLINE<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/update.midlandps.org\/index.php\/2019\/11\/should-mps-high-school-hours-start-an-hour-earlier\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Should MPS' high school hours start an hour earlier? - UPDATE ONLINE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/update.midlandps.org\/index.php\/2019\/11\/should-mps-high-school-hours-start-an-hour-earlier\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"UPDATE ONLINE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/DHSUpdate\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-11-07T19:18:42+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-11-08T03:18:42+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Alex Futter\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@DowHighUpdate\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@DowHighUpdate\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Alex Futter\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2019\\\/11\\\/should-mps-high-school-hours-start-an-hour-earlier\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2019\\\/11\\\/should-mps-high-school-hours-start-an-hour-earlier\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Alex Futter\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/41a8958ab470c9d2e02238a9207fc632\"},\"headline\":\"Should MPS’ high school hours start an hour earlier?\",\"datePublished\":\"2019-11-07T19:18:42+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-11-08T03:18:42+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2019\\\/11\\\/should-mps-high-school-hours-start-an-hour-earlier\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":310,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/#organization\"},\"keywords\":[\"alex futter\",\"Coppens\",\"Evan Hannon\"],\"articleSection\":[\"NEWS\"],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"CommentAction\",\"name\":\"Comment\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2019\\\/11\\\/should-mps-high-school-hours-start-an-hour-earlier\\\/#respond\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2019\\\/11\\\/should-mps-high-school-hours-start-an-hour-earlier\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2019\\\/11\\\/should-mps-high-school-hours-start-an-hour-earlier\\\/\",\"name\":\"Should MPS' high school hours start an hour earlier? - UPDATE ONLINE\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-11-07T19:18:42+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-11-08T03:18:42+00:00\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2019\\\/11\\\/should-mps-high-school-hours-start-an-hour-earlier\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/\",\"name\":\"UPDATE ONLINE\",\"description\":\"H.H.
