Lack of sleep can cause students to not pay attention and sleep through their classes causing bad grades, summer school, low GPA/ test scores, falling behind a grade, and late graduation. Lack of sleep can also effect a student’s mental health and cause depression and have less motivation for school functions and activities. Counselor Ms. Dubiel talks to students on a daily basis who might be dealing with lack of sleep. She states, “In my opinion, I believe sleep is deeply connected to how students AND staff function in school. A lack of sleep impacts an individual's ability to concentrate on things such as school work, but it also makes it difficult for us to regulate our own emotions. I am a true believer that if we are not emotionally prepared to learn, it is that much more difficult to sit through a class and stay motivated to do the work.” She talks about how she has definitely seen a difference in how kids function based on the amount of sleep they've gotten. She has seen students not able to physically stay awake while they are talking and it's due to a severe lack of sleep.
