Why is starting at crack of dawn bad? For night owls, so much daylight is wasted in the early morning hours. For children, they'll be shoved off into a classroom building at dawn any way, might as well enjoy more daylight after the schoolday.
What am I missing haha?
- Dylan16807 2y agoTeenagers naturally go to sleep later and wake up later. If their schools start early, that's bad for their health and their education. In other words, they need that early morning sunlight to help keep a healthy schedule. It's not wasted.
- trgn 2y ago> they need that early morning sunlight to help keep a healthy schedule this is the part that I don't get. So a teenager needs a later schoolday because they're night owls. 100% agreed with that. But why would they need the early morning daylight? They'll sleep that sunlight away anyway! Wouldn't a shift to a later schoolday, with the DST shift of a later sunrise later, not complement each other very well? Rather than say, just shifting the schoolday later, but then have all that sunlight in the early morning when they are still sleeping.

Not any more: it's better to sleep as much as possible during daylight hours, and spend more of your time outside after the sun has gone down. The reason for this should be obvious by looking at any current weather report.
