text: Online courses could help cure sleep deprivation among teens. Students stay up ours at a time to work on projects, study for test/quizzes, and do homework. since they are in school for eight hours a day they do not have time to relax and take naps. Also their weekends are fully packed with schoolwork that needs to be done for the following week. they have the tendency to overwork themselves without even knowing it. If students keep going at this rate they would have long term effects in the future, such as insomnia. Having insomnia could hurt them in the long run especially in college. Some students fail to pay attention in class. Their minds are cluttered with the thoughts of other classes. They are so tired that it is very easy for them to lose track of what they are doing or what is happening around them. It's hard to focus when you've been up all night to make sure you have your homework done or you studied enough to pass your test. Online classes will allow teen to get enough sleep and relaxation. The body shuts down fast when it hasn't gotten enough sleep This could cause students to fall asleep in class non stop.
