    High school students are expected to achieve at least eight hours of sleep a night. Dr. Jonathan Pletcher says a lack of sleep can increase depression, poor school performance. Sleep is depicted in my mind as an inexorable necessity that is only awarded to those who manage to stand on two feet throughout the day.
