Sleep is priceless. Here at Los Altos High School the majority of students start school at 8:10 everyday except for Wednesday's. On Wednesday's we start class at 8:50 which surprisingly really makes a difference in how rested I feel.  As a teenager I find I need at least 8 hours of sleep a night in order to be successful and learn to my full ability. With school starting at 8:10 I find this very difficult to achieve 8 hours of sleep between homework, sports and family time.  Every Monday through Thursdays I have soccer practice in San Jose and don't get home until around 10ish. This doesn't help me when I am trying to get my full eight hours of sleep. If school were to start later in the day, I believe that people will be better rested, which will result in people having more energy to work harder for more hours out of the day.
