I used to wake up around 6:30-40 for a 7:55 start time. I didn't officially "wake up" until after 9:30 or so. The high school juniors had statewide exams every year so the rest of the high schoolers got to go in after 9/9:30. I woke up much more well-rested and oddly enough, I felt happier. I really wished that a later start time was the norm. I doubt it'll be, since one of the reasons why schools start early is due to parents' schedules, but who knows.
