School start times are not just another school budget or logistical trade-off. They affect the ability of kids to get healthy sleep--which is essential for virtually all aspects of human growth, development & function #startschoollater thesunchronicle.com/news/local_new…

Just as there are laws & regulations to protect kids' basic health needs — eg school lunch programs, restrooms in schools, ADA demands, building codes, seat belt & curfew laws— there should be regulations protecting our children’s sleep #startschoollater reviewjournal.com/opinion/letter…

Wouldn't we ADULTS be cranky too if we were forced out of bed at the equivalent of 4am every morning? #startschoollater #sleep headtopics.com/us/cranky-in-t…

During puberty a shift in hormones affects teen body clocks so that they want to go to sleep and wake later than younger kids or older adults. This is why early school starts can have such dramatic and disproportionate impacts on them | #startschoollater thesuburban.com/columnists/dr_…

In this Wisconsin district, moving to later middle and high school start times would mean fewer bus routes and lower transportation costs. Contrary to common belief, this is not at all uncommon #startschoollater #itcanbedone wxow.com/news/la-crosse…

Teens w/early start times often sleep 5-7hrs hours & are forced to wake for school in the middle of the sleep period when melatonin’s effects are peaking. As a result, they feel groggy. Dr. Fong-Isariyawongse likened it to an adult getting up at 3 or 4am. share.upmc.com/2024/08/later-…
