  1. Sleep Deprivation and Exercise Michelle, Hannah, Eliza, and Eliana

  2. Later start time • Teens have trouble falling asleep before 11pm • Their deepest sleep point is around 7am • After or the time that most teens wake up for school

  3. Early Morning Classes Test showed that students who were assigned early morning classes didn’t perform as well Their grades were lower overall compared to students in classes with later start times

  4. What happens when you don’t sleep? Sleep Deprivation links to… • Depression, suicide thoughts, weight gain, risky behavior in teens • Teens who drive/walk to school without enough sleep or while its dark are more likely to have accidents

  5. Tendency to get up later until age 19.5 in women and 21 in men At this point they start waking up earlier again By the age of 55-60 you are waking up the same time you were at the age of 10

  6. Exercise and the Brain

  7. Chemicals Roles • Serotonin: lifts mood • Epinephrine: response to stress/ fear • Dopamine: signals pleasure and makes you happy • Endorphin: bodies natural pain killer

  8. Why exercise is necessary • Increases blood calcium which stimulates dopamine production and uptake in your brain • Helps produce serotonin/ epinephrine/ dopamine/ endorphin • These chemicals can help students by lifting their mood, keep them active and healthy, and give them a break from academic classes like science, history, language arts, math, etc.

  9. Breaks from academic classes • Down time and breaks from classes like math or history help reinforce new connections of new things you’ve learned that day • That is why we have gym class for 4th period- to help strengthen things you learned in the first 3 periods • It is important to support these new memories so breaks are important

  10. Gym class every day • Gym is a good way of exercise • Exercise elevates mood by producing the chemicals we just mentioned • It is necessary for Middle school students to have a good mood because if they didn’t they could get stressed and stress has a negative impact on the brain

  11. Updated Schedule

  12. With our new schedule… • Classes will start two hours later because the teen brain stops developing melatonin later than adult brains which makes them tired and less focused in the morning • Gym class everyday before lunch so students get daily exercise • School ends at 4:10 PM, still leaving enough time for an after school activity
