School Scene Sunrises

Long ago, when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, humans woke up when the sun rose and slept when it set. Now Omaha Public School students get to school before the sun is up, and average seven hours of sleep each night. Extra classes that start at "Zero Hour" are now begining at 6:40 am. I understand about the snow day setbacks, but this is too early. If somone took only 20 minutes to get dressed and 10 minutes to commute they would still need to be in bed by 10:00 pm to reach the minimum of 9 hours, and this is the ideal situation. With all the activities packed into a students day it does not need to be any shorter.
