I am a senior at Chinquapin, Class of 2021. During our junior and senior year we are assigned to work on a project that helps the community. I did not know what idea or topic to focus on since there were many varieties that we could choose from. I finally chose Sleep Deprivation since it is something I can relate and more high schoolers can relate to.

 

I chose this topic because being in Chinquapin I saw how students tended to lose sleep when they had to do homework and wake up early. I experience this because I had days where I had to wake up early to do work but also outside of school I played soccer at a club which made me have to go to practices during the week. During the week, I would arrive home at around 10 and had to do finish any homework I had not done which at days I would sleep around 1 a.m. I knew how it felt lacking sleep throughout school and wanted to raise cause for this and provide some sort of help for those who struggle too.
