I'm always getting angry that most countries force many kids to be sleep deprived for ~12 years. I was one of them. I just can't operate properly before 10a.m.

I'm always getting angry that most countries force many kids to be sleep deprived for ~12 years. I was one of them. I just can't operate properly before 10a.m. and even if I'm super tired it's very difficult to fall asleep before 1a.m. Furthermore my body wants 8-9 hours of sleep.
Research has shown it's not entirely possible to shift our inner rythm, so I really hope (more) schools start offering different timeslots for classes to start. I'm also confident there are enough teachers who willingly start two or four hours later and with flex time enough parents who happily bring their kids 2 or 4 hours later.
