COLUMBIA, Mo. – Jilly Dos Santos really did try to get to school on time. She set three successive alarms on her phone. Skipped breakfast. Hastily applied makeup while her fuming father drove. But last year she rarely made it into the frantic scrum at the doors of Rock Bridge High School here by the first bell, at 7:50 a.m.
密苏里州哥伦比亚市—为了按时到校,吉莉·多斯桑托斯(Jilly Dos Santos)已经使尽了浑身解数。她在手机上连着设了三个闹钟,早餐也顾不上吃,在父亲气冲冲驾车的途中匆匆化妆。但即使这样,去年她几乎也从未成功在早上7:50预备铃响之前冲进石桥高中(Rock Bridge High School)大门口蜂拥的学生群中。
Then she heard that the school board was about to make the day start even earlier, at 7:20 a.m.
然后她听说,学校董事会正准备将上课时间提前到7:20。
“I thought, if that happens, I will die,” recalled Jilly, 17. “I will drop out of school!”
“我想要真这样我就死定了,”17岁的吉莉回忆道。“我会辍学的!”
That was when the sleep-deprived teenager turned into a sleep activist. She was determined to convince the board of a truth she knew in the core of her tired, lanky body: Teenagers are developmentally driven to be late to bed, late to rise. Could the board realign the first bell with that biological reality?
就是从这时候起,这名总是睡眠不足的少女变身为睡眠捍卫者。她决心要说服学校董事会,使他们也认识到她那疲惫、瘦高的身体一再告诉她的真相:青少年正处在生长发育阶段,这注定了他们就是要晚睡晚起。学校董事会能不能根据这个生物学上的事实重新调整预备铃的时间?
