whee i just did a presentation on this...
should schools start and end at a later time so teens can get more sleep? consider -lack of sleep among teens -how the time to go to school becomes earlier as we move up from elementary to junior high to high school. (at least it is in my case) -too much homework/studying my school starts at 7:45, but the bus picks us up at 6:45. we get to school around 7:15 and then we just do w/e we need to do before school starts (homework, make up a test/quiz, music stuff, etc). its not mandatory to get to school this early, though. i think that school should start later because it's been proven that teens biological clocks "wake up" at a later time. which means that if we go to school later, we learn better. |

everyone's sleep patterns are based off of sunlight, when there is sunlight.
in teenagers this bumps back 2-3 hours. so teenagers sleep 2-3 hours later than adults (at night) and wake up even later. this is the natural rythm of sleep for a teen. |
