Sleep deprivation in adolescents is linked to mental health struggles, worse grades, traffic accidents, and more. That’s why states such as California and Florida have mandated later high school start times. But opposition to later times is less about the science than it is about logistics and costs...
I've never understood this argument to start school later. Shouldn't the kids just go to bed earlier? If school starts later aren't they just going to stay up later? The amount I sleep is usually a choice on at least one side of the equation.
Edit- Actually read the article, apparently there's a actually some science to it, interesting
Wow, I admit that I was wrong and I learned something and that's the response I get, pretty awesome community.
I've heard this arguments for years, but never science to it. I'm open minded enough to take new information and science into account and adjust my opinion on things, which you know in today's world is not that common. But sure I'm the jackass.
Thanks
