text: Most middle school and high school students don't receive the recommended eight hours of sleep each night because of how early they have to attend school, but online classes could change this. Usually students go to bed around 10:00pm or even later than this; and wake up at around 5:30am or 6:00am depending on what time school starts. Many AP or IB students lose sleep because of the large homework load they receive. So students that take AP or IB classes could start their online courses later in the day and receive the right amount of sleep each day. Having eight hours of sleep can increase productivity among students and possibly receive better grades on worksheets, homework, and tests. If students are able to wake up later and get plenty of time to sleep, they will feel more motivated to work hard and finish their assignments. School can be stressful and getting the right amount of sleep can help ease this.
