Why are so many students short (缺少) of sleep? Recently, a reporter did a survey in No. 21 Middle School. The result shows that there are two main about this problem. One is that students have too much homework at night. Some students have to up late to finish their homework till 11:00 p.m. The reason is about the use of Internet. Some students are crazy about playing games on the phones.
Many parents worry about this problem. The Ministry of Education (教育部) has paid more attention this problem and required that students in primary schools shouldat least 10 hours a day, 9 hours for junior high and 8 hours for senior high. Schools are expected to give less homework to students that they can have more time to sleep.
