Hell, yes! I've been saying this all my life. At one point I was forced to wake at 5.30 because we lived too far from school. I'm can't say it caused depression, but it surely made me feel like crap every day, almost all day. And this is not particular to the US. I live in South America and it's the same here. With one benefit - we don't engage in as many extra curricular activities, so that won't be a problem.
