Read the passage below and answer the question that follows:

As your phone’s alarm blares, you slowly open one eye. How can it be morning already? It seems like it was only a few hours ago that you finished your homework. You close your eyes for just five more minutes, but then your mom bangs on the door: “Time to get up, or you’ll miss the bus!” If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Many teens struggle to get enough sleep. But when schools switched to remote learning in 2020 because of the pandemic, classes often began later. That, combined with many students not having to commute to school, allowed teens to get some extra shut-eye. Now, after returning to in-person classes, a number of schools are going back to their earlier start times. But some kids are trying to change that. For example, in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, a group of students have formed an organization called Cherry Hill Students for Later School Start Times. It wants local middle and high schools to push back the start of the school day to 8:30 a.m. (Currently, middle schools in Cherry Hill start at 8 a.m., and high schools start at 7:30.) In fact, schools in several states have switched to later start times in recent years. Research shows that inadequate sleep can negatively affect students’ health and grades. But not everyone thinks kids should be sleeping in. Opponents4 say starting classes later is expensive for school districts and limits students’ time for after-school activities. Do we need a wake-up call when it comes to school start times? Keep reading, then decide what you think.
