For some students, breakfast is a great way to start the day; however, other students find that eating breakfast isn’t worth the time it takes up in the morning.
Every student goes through the morning routine of hitting the snooze button when the alarm goes off rather than waking up. With the rush that results in the morning, many students end up cutting out breakfast.
“I believe that 15 minutes of sleep is better than 15 minutes of eating,” freshman Fiona Bultonsheen said.
While some students would rather sleep than eat breakfast, others feel they can’t get through the morning without it.
“I get really distracted, and I just don’t focus as well,” freshman Erin Bauer said.
According to a poll by ABC News, older people tend to eat breakfast more than younger people, primarily because younger people have less time.
Despite so much of the younger generation not eating breakfast, many students see important benefits in doing so. Most students who usually eat breakfast feel that they are able to focus much better on academics.
“You don’t have to think about being hungry during school,” senior Tyler J. Martin said. On the other hand, many students who don’t eat breakfast feel they are more focused with the extra time to sleep in the morning.
The question for each student becomes, is food or sleep more important?
