I agree with your specific point but my experience with obscene lack of sleep during my high school years was owed to extracirculars in general. On top of athletics, I was also part of Men's Glee (and symphony choir, and swing choir for a year) in high school. Men's Glee formed while I was in the 10th grade and the only time we had to practice was before classes because all of us were also already involved in other sports and extra curriculars. 10th through 12th grade I was awake at 5:45AM to get to school by 6:15 to practice from 6:30 til 7:15/7:30. There were at least half of a dozen other grouoa starting before school for the same reasons. I was also in swing choir my 11th grade year and we met after sports practice ended. A handful of us had days that started at school around 6:15AM and ended around 7:30PM! These choirs were good and competitive at the (Ohio) state level but in retrospect I'd have rather slept later. In the case of swing choir, it was very much that I just wanted to leave the school grounds at a reasonable hour.
