I've heard of this research. I wouldn't at all doubt it. I think 8:30 is perfectly reasonable... I just don't think it will have the effects people think it will. Maybe a marginal improvement which is fine to shoot for... but I just see too many kids choosing an extra hour of games/phone vs sleep.
- bee_rider 4y agoWhat's marginal? From the article: > Places that have already pushed back school start times have repeatedly seen positive results. When Seattle’s public-school district shifted its start time in 2016 (from 7:50 a.m. to 8:45 a.m.), students got a median of an additional 34 minutes of sleep a night as a result. And in Cherry Creek, a Denver-area suburb, high schoolers slept about 45 minutes longer on average, and those improvements endured even two years after the change. 34 extra minutes of sleep on 55 is pretty good IMO.
