When Do You Do Your Homework?

When Do You Do Your Homework?

            Is doing homework early in the morning before school easier and more beneficial than staying up till 1 A.M. to finish and then go to bed? I honestly do not have a preference because depending on the day I will do whatever best fits my schedule cooperatively.

            I believe the mind thinks you get more sleep if you stay up late to finish your homework because that way you don’t have to set you alarm as early to get up the next morning and you feel like you get more sleep that way. Most will argue and say that you get the same amount of sleep either way. But your mind is a weird and unique thing. You can play many games to trick your mind into thinking differently.

            Some may argue that they would never even think of doing their homework in the morning before school because they would feel rushed and they would panic because they feel as if they won’t finish in time. Plus with all of the pressure of trying to finish in a limited amount of time before school begins, you quality of work may not be at its best.

            Doing your homework in the morning does give you the chance to go to bed at an earlier time, that way you get a good night sleep. For some people doing homework in the morning works better for them because they like to go to sleep early instead of staying up late to do homework. That way in the morning you are refreshed and are able to wake up early to do all of your homework.

            The downfall of waiting to do your homework in the morning is what if your alarm doesn’t go off and you over sleep. Now what? Do you rush to copy your best friend’s homework? No because cheating is wrong. Do you ask mom to call you out of first and second hour so you have time to do your homework? Maybe, I know a lot of students who take this route, but it’s sad that their parents let them do it time after time. It’s like how is your child ever going to learn responsibility! Or do you face the fact that you didn’t do your homework and show up for class empty handed? Yes you should, because that is what you deserved. If you don’t make time for your homework why should the grade book act as if you did! (418)
