      Regularizing my sleep habits has made all the difference in the world for me. When my sleep habits become irregular, it's terrible. No surprise that disrupted or inconsistent sleep patterns highly correlate with many psychological and cognitive problemshttps://twitter.com/nxthompson/status/1129499584760307712 …

      One of my pet issues is demanding that schools open later. I see no reason why school can't begin at 10 or 11am and end at 4 or 5pm. I know I was inhibited from learning adequately due to being exhausted by getting to school at 7:15. Many others had the same experience

      Kids are resistant to going to bed early, and resistant to waking up early. So why not accomodate their natural sleep tendencies to some marginally greater extent. You will probably see an improvement in behavioral outcomes

          I guess this would apply more to high school, where kids can secure their own transportation more easily, than earlier grades. I understand the practical considerations with parents having to get to work. But in theory I think this would be a much better arrangement

          There's this weird cultural sense that waking up extremely early is somehow virtuous. I wake up early now, but for practical reasons, not reasons of virtue. Almost everyone I knew as a teenager (with some oddball exceptions) would naturally wake up at around 10-11am if they could

          The idea that kids need to be on some kind of Wall Street work schedule in order to prepare them for the "real world" is so stupid. The priority for school should be to create the conditions where they can learn optimally. It's not "coddling" to make adjustments to enable that

          Interesting take, though I think this is only true in the post-industrial world we live in, so in that sense it’s not “natural.” Without electricity, just about everyone is in bed by 9pm, there’s just nothing to do in the dark; you’re excited to see that 5:30AM sun and get going!

          There's alot of scientific evidence that suggests the majority of people and teenagers especially aren't getting enough sleep due in part to the 9-5 ratrace. Letting go of these set office hours would do a lot of people a world of good.

          apparently 40% of us are early birds, 30% late-risers, and 30% in the middle. it's a genetic thing + there's no way of changing this.

          Except for teenagers, which are almost universally late risers.

          Kids will stay up all night if you let them. This is training so they can be good little workers. Coppers were established to get people out of saloons and into bed with last call and curfew laws so workers could be at the grindstone good and early. Daylight is in limited supply.
