  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.

    皆さん、おはようございます。私たちの多くは、疲れたまま授業に来ていて、それが当たり前だと思っています。今日は、睡眠の専門家がすすめていることと、クラスメートが実際にしていることを比べてみます。

  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.

    アメリカ睡眠医学会によると、13歳から18歳の10代は、1晩に8時間から10時間眠るべきです。もっと小さな子どもは、さらに多く、9時間から12時間必要です。

  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.

    自分たちがどうなのかを知るために、小さなアンケートをしました。30人のクラスメートに、学校のある日の夜、ふだん何時間眠っているかを聞きました。

    The numbers on this slide are made up for practice. They are not real data.

  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.

    結果ははっきりしていました。8時間以上眠っているのは、30人中6人だけでした。ほとんどの人は6時間から7時間の間で、6時間未満の人もいました。

  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.

    理由を聞くと、三つの答えが何度も出てきました。ベッドでスマホを使うこと、宿題を遅くまでやること、そして学校のために早起きしなければならないことです。

  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.

    面白いことに、アメリカ小児科学会は、生徒が十分に眠れるように、中学校と高校の始業を8時半以降にするようすすめています。

  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.

    この結果をもとに、三つの提案があります。スマホを寝室に持ち込まないこと、宿題は夜の早い時間にやるよう計画すること、そして始業時間について学校と話し合うことです。

  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.

    まとめると、私たちのほとんどは、専門家がすすめるより少ししか眠っていません。睡眠は時間のむだではなく、学びの一部です。今夜、30分早く寝てみてください。ありがとうございました。
