America's pediatricians have message for school adminstrators: let the kids sleep. The nation's largest pediatrician group issued a policy statement last week calling for high school and middle school classes to begin at 8:30A.m. or later.
Fourty -three percent of the over 18,000 public high schools in the U.S. have a start time before 8A.M. The American Academy of Pediatrics asserts that a later start time is key to helping adolescents achive optional levels of sleep--81/2to91/2 hours per night.
School start time is one of many factors that impact a teen's ability to get enough sleep. Other less controllable factors include biological changes in sleep patterns, lifestyle choices, and academic demands.
