  1. 01Are Students Getting Enough Sleep?

    Good morning, everyone. Many of us come to class tired, and we think it's normal. Today, I'll compare what sleep experts recommend with what my classmates actually do.

    Buenos días a todos. Muchos de nosotros llegamos a clase cansados y pensamos que es normal. Hoy voy a comparar lo que recomiendan los expertos en sueño con lo que realmente hacen mis compañeros.

  2. 02What Experts Recommend

    According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, teenagers aged thirteen to eighteen should sleep eight to ten hours a night. Younger children need even more: nine to twelve hours.

    Según la Academia Estadounidense de Medicina del Sueño, los adolescentes de trece a dieciocho años deberían dormir de ocho a diez horas por noche. Los niños más pequeños necesitan todavía más: de nueve a doce horas.

  3. 03My Class Survey

    To see how we compare, I did a small survey. I asked thirty classmates how many hours they usually sleep on school nights.

    Para ver cómo estamos nosotros, hice una pequeña encuesta. Les pregunté a treinta compañeros cuántas horas suelen dormir las noches antes de ir a la escuela.

  4. 04The Results

    The results were clear. Only six out of thirty students sleep eight hours or more. Most of us sleep between six and seven hours, and some sleep less than six.

    Los resultados fueron claros. Solo seis de treinta estudiantes duermen ocho horas o más. La mayoría dormimos entre seis y siete horas, y algunos duermen menos de seis.

  5. 05Why We Sleep So Little

    When I asked why, three reasons came up again and again: using phones in bed, finishing homework late, and having to get up early for school.

    Cuando pregunté por qué, aparecieron tres razones una y otra vez: usar el celular en la cama, terminar la tarea tarde y tener que levantarse temprano para ir a la escuela.

  6. 06What Some Doctors Suggest

    Interestingly, the American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended that middle and high schools start at eight thirty or later, so that students can get enough sleep.

    Curiosamente, la Academia Estadounidense de Pediatría ha recomendado que las escuelas secundarias y preparatorias empiecen a las ocho y media o más tarde, para que los estudiantes puedan dormir lo suficiente.

  7. 07What We Can Do

    Based on these results, I have three suggestions. Let's keep phones out of the bedroom, plan homework earlier in the evening, and talk to our school about start times.

    Con base en estos resultados, tengo tres sugerencias. Dejemos el celular fuera del dormitorio, hagamos la tarea más temprano por la noche y hablemos con nuestra escuela sobre el horario de entrada.

  8. 08Conclusion

    To sum up, most of us sleep less than experts recommend. Sleep is not a waste of time; it's part of learning. Tonight, try going to bed thirty minutes earlier. Thank you.

    En resumen, la mayoría de nosotros dormimos menos de lo que recomiendan los expertos. Dormir no es una pérdida de tiempo; es parte del aprendizaje. Esta noche, intenten acostarse treinta minutos antes. Gracias.
