ngl part of that was my fault as a teenager. I stayed up and convinced myself I couldn't sleep. I regret everything

honestly it's a subconsciously taught skill, you do it enough times and provide your body and brain with activities and foods during that time that produce endorphins and dopamine, it learns that it gets rewarded by not sleeping. Biologgyyyyyyyyyyyy... I should have done it at university level

ofcs things that stress out and create anxiety for your brain contribute BUT those things also produce adrenaline, which your brain can take as good or bad e.g. roller coaters, excitement etc. So even then it's getting a semi reward for keeping you awake due to these things

...this sounds really complicated XD its too early in the more ing for me to think about this

lol it's not even complicated. it's a basic behavioural reward system... also 7.30am isn't considered early by myself anymore 
(At that point I've been up for 3 hours already)

more that you shouldn't. It's not at all advisable to deprive yourself of sleep as a teenager especially. In fact the time that high schoolers are expected to go to school in the morning is the worst time for them. And as a teenager your times for sleep is pushed back so you get even less time in bed.

right... but oh well, its understandable so we can have longer afternoons... but at the same time... 5:30 is like... bleh

actually it's because the school districts are cheap as hell

it's to do with cuts on school buses. A lot of districts use the same buses for each level of schooling. So the teens get taken to school first then middle school students and finally the elementary students. Which completely ignores the natural sleeping patterns of growing kids bodies. Teens are wired to get tired naturally around 11pm, but they are expected at 1st period around 7am in a lot of cases. They biologically need 8-10 hours of sleep a night but if they are getting tired and sleeping at 11.30pm and having to wake up at the latest 6.30am to get to school for 7am, that's a huge deficit

yk in the 50's-70's they used to have separate transport for all school levels but they cut back money spent on transport because the numbers of children attending schools went up

Hello. I see you two are talking about the American School system, which I myself have plenty of complaints about.

Alright. One thing I really really hate about the school system is the fact that it's still based on an ideology from the freaking industrial era. There's been a few changes here and there, but it hasn't truly evolved for our modern times. And that ideology's goal is to make factory workers and suppress creativity. It's something not a lot of people really talk about, and it really frustrates me.

It was fine during the industrial era, but we aren't in that era anymore. The system needs to be updated. And you can see this in action. Kids have to wake up really early in the morning, sometimes even 6 AM. At the end of each class, a bell rings. Students have to line up, etc. This is all from this ideology, it's the whole purpose is to create obedient factory workers. Now, there has been some changes to improve this, but overall, it's still a problem.
