But now at 20.00 WITA or 20.30 WITA at least have to sleep.Because, he continued, if forced to sleep at 22.00 WITA or 23.00 WITA, the next morning it will be difficult to wake up, or even a little dizzy due to lack of sleep hours."But now it's slowly being a little adjustable, although it's a bit difficult," he added.Filipo himself admitted that he was up from 04.00 WITA, to prepare himself so he was not late for school. Moreover, he said on Monday, a national exam was carried out.Hana Diinata, a grade 12 IPA I student, said that it was enough to feel the impact of school admission activities starting at 05.30 WITA. "So far, if you are sleepy in class during the teaching and learning process, you are rarely felt, but you are sleepy when you are outside the school," he said.Hana admitted that outside of school, there were other activities, namely basketball training. During basketball practice, he was attacked sleepy and tired quickly, because the body had not adjusted.The reason, he said, is that since the school was implemented at 05.30 WITA, he was also forced to wake up at 04.00 WITA.He also spends time sleeping early so that it is not easy to wake up late and not sleepy when the activities of KBM (Learning and Teaching Activities) in class, even when school extracurricular, must be sleepy.
