> Teenagers need about nine hours of sleep a night—but they get closer to seven. Mine isn't doing too badly then, I guess. He usually goes to bed way too late in my opinion, after 10 pm, sometimes 11 pm. But he comes out of bed just before 8, so that still adds up to 9-10 hours of sleep. 8:30 is the normal school start time around here, and he can bike there in about 15 minutes. The article doesn't go into what the starting times of the offending schools are, but if it's before 8, then I would definitely agree that's way too early and irresponsible.
