Doze to Grow Those Scores

 

The purpose is to enforce a 30 minute nap period twice a week to help improve not only your mental health, but also test

scores. It will mainly affect students because they can focus better, have less stress, and will feel mentally refreshed

after waking up.

 

Students across the United States struggle with different forms of mental health. According to Kirsten K. Rossler having

a short nap at school can help prevent any stress related problems. A majority of teens also are living with mild to

impactful sleep deprivation. A study from Child Mind Institute states that teenagers need over nine hours of sleep a

night to be healthy. “But over a third of teens get only five to six hours a night” According to another website titled

Sleepfoundation.org teens need eight to ten hours of sleep per night. Through all of this studies show having a specific

time in school to have a nap or rest period students will feel more confident, and test scores will increase immensely.

 

Sleep Deprived: Not getting the right amount of sleep

Sleep Deprivation: Not getting good quality sleep

Forms of Anxiety: Characterized by fear, excessive worry

Nap time: Forces students to rest their eyes for 20 minutes

 

No funding needed because students will nap on their desks.

 

If the school board doesn’t approve of this, the class funding for the school will be taken away
