The Ethics of Mandated Naptime

Sleep deprivation is a brutal truth of college life and negatively affects performance in the classroom of college students. Medical Journal A says that lack of sleep causes blah, blah, blah (citation). This epidemic has also plagued college campuses for years. The question at hand is, should colleges allow for breaks during the day for naptime, much like preschools and kindergartens do?

In looking at Mill's utilitarian approach to ethical decision making, mandating naptime would do the most good for the most people, allowing students an opportunity to recharge their batteries each day while maintaining something cool. Many European and Mediterranean countries have siestas built into their workdays and show worker satisfaction to be awesome (citation about worker satisfaction).

From the Hobbes-Locke framework of the common good, naptimes would benefit the whole college community because rested people are generally less cranky (citation of sleep and crankiness) and get along better with others (citation of friendship). It's common knowledge that communities with more positive interaction between its members function better and are more utopian, so naptimes rule.

Naptimes also help regulate people daily, increase fat loss (citation), and keep people more balanced in their day-to-day interactions (citation). This falls directly in line with Aristotle's fairness approach to ethical decision-making, as it is the pursuit of harmonious balance.

In conclusion, I feel strongly that naptimes should be mandated on campuses across the US because of the other things from this paper (do not, and I repeat, DO NOT, conclude your paper this way. Take a more firm stance) and firmly believe that in doing so, we could create a better college life for all included.
