      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

          Maybe it’s a residual value from preindustrial society, when it paid to get up early to head out to the fields? And when natural light was the only kind?

          There's actually science on adolescent sleep cycles... he's dead now but there was a great HS principal in NYC who started classes at 9 and attendance shot up.

          I think it's worker culture. Good worker = good man = good father = responsible early riser. If you had a job working outside like I used to, getting up early means the whole day is going to go better and end better and sooner. Teens need to sleep more than at any other time...
