[00:07.84]Is Lights-out Regulation Necessary?
[00:12.38]Lights-out regulation has been practiced in Chinese colleges
[00:17.98]and universities for decades.
[00:20.22]However, in recent years,
[00:22.65]some universities have removed this regulation: no fixed bedtime for students.
[00:29.38]Towards this change, people share different views.
[00:33.61]Some people think schools should keep lights-out regulations
[00:38.03]so that 8 hours' sleep is guaranteed for each student.
[00:42.14]However, others welcome the change.
[00:45.31]They think college students are mature enough
[00:48.98]to make their own decisions as to when to go to bed.
[00:52.15]What is more, they argue that 11pm,
[00:56.20]which is the regular lights-out time,
[00:58.43]is too early for an adult.
[01:00.80]As a college student,
[01:02.98]I think it is necessary that the school keep the lights-out regulation.
[01:07.71]College years are important,
[01:10.40]because during this time good or bad habits are formed.
[01:14.35]Keeping lights-out regulation can help students
[01:18.08]to form the good habit of "early to bed and early to rise".
