Hyper Scheduling (Intense)

Imagine the daily routine of a student who attends Fort Lauderdale High School.  She wakes up at 5 a.m., goes to school for 8 hours, and stays after school until 5 p.m. for a demanding physical activity. She boards the after school bus, reaches home at 6 p.m., and spends the rest of the night  finishing her homework until probably 12, 1, or 2 a.m. in the morning. This applies to most high school students in what scientist call hyper scheduling.

Hyper scheduling or over scheduling has increased in student over the last decade. One of the causes is the amount of competitiveness that has made college admission much more difficult than previous decades. These students who are hyper scheduler often feel like there is not enough hours in a day because they have many things to do. As a result, they are unable to get enough sleep which leads to emotional, physical, and mental stress.
 
It tends to be worse for students whose families are not involved in their activities. They tend not to spend enough time with their families. In contrast, involved families help reduce student's stress by managing their activities in supportive ways.
 
So guys, my research will incorporate all these profound aspect by answering the question on whether  involved students experience hyper scheduling and to what degree is it experienced if parents are involved.

P.s. If you are involved in any extracurricular activity or activities and you think you are an hyper scheduler and you are interested in being a part of my research, let me know. (there is a smiley face after this) :)
