The document discusses a student's homework schedule and lack of sleep. It shows the student spends 4.5 hours on homework each day and sleeps only 7.5 hours per night, which is less than the recommended 9.5 hours for teens. This likely means the student is suffering from sleep deprivation, which can negatively impact memory, mental health, immune system and school performance. The document questions if this issue of lack of sleep is a concern for the class and teachers.

that teenagers require more sleep, by 1 to 2 hours,
than do their younger 9- and 10-year-old siblings, who
only require about 8 hours of sleep.
