A new BBC report says students at schools in Scotland are having lessons in how to sleep. The lessons started because many pupils did not have a proper sleep routine. Teachers taught the children how good sleeping patterns can help them study better. One of the important points in the lessons was not to watch TV late at night. Other advice was to sleep for nine hours or more every night. One 15-year-old said he had tried going to bed early. He told the BBC: "I went to my bed at 10-ish rather than 11, and I do feel a little bit more awake.”
This is amazing news. It is difficult to understand why a school needs to give sleep lessons. That should be what parents do. I suppose that is life today. Children are staying up later and later. They don’t go to bed because they want to watch TV, play games or chat online. This is bad news for their school work. Many children try to finish their homework in a hurry because they want to use their computer. Kids who go to bed late fall asleep in class. If all children do this, maybe we’ll have fewer doctors and scientists because no one will pass exams.
