Y’know What’s Fucking Nuts

y’know what’s fucking nuts

most teenagers need 9 to 9 1/2 hours of sleep per night. that leaves 14 1/2 hours open per day.

the average length of a school day is 6 hours and 42 minutes.

most teachers say students get around 3 1/2 hours of homework per day.

on average, high school students have about an hour of extracurriculars a day.

teenage who have jobs work two hours and 25 minutes per day (more on weekends) on average.

allowing an hour for dinner, and another hour total for showering/grooming, that’s a bit over 15 1/2 hours.

that’s an hour more than what’s left over after you factor in a healthy amount of sleep. and that’s without any breaks/transportation time/snacks/family time etc.

the expectations that society has for teenagers mean it’s basically impossible for us to get enough sleep unless you sacrifice one or more of the above activities.

but noooo, it’s those damn phones

(you can find pretty much all of these statistics with a simple google search)
