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 …

Assuming these students get full time employment, jobs don’t let these people sleep in till whenever they want.

True, but schools should not just be in the business of Preparing kids for how stupid our labor system is. They should be in the business of teaching practical skills and making sure students can figure out how to do what they enjoy for a living.

You say all of this assuming schools (public schools specifically) are in place for kids to learn optimally. It's not. it's to prepare the majority for drone jobs. I share your demand for this to change, but the public school system has proven to be largely inflexible to change.

True, but that's the premise, though. Summer vacation recovery and the time off itself is costly to a kid's education. The review takes a month out of the year, too. Year round school stops tha and ends teachers on Sumr unemployment. That's an adjustment I think we can agree on.

Absolutely. No coddling by allowing them to sleep in.

I'm guessing you never had to choose between workers who couldn't show up for work in the morning and those who could manage to do that. The "real world" exists. If you prepare for it, then you generally do better.

Though any significant progress in this area would also have to address adult schedules too

My local district did move middle school & HS start times back a bit. They did that by making the Elementary School kids get up earlier

I absolutely agree! I homeschool 6 kids (sk through 12). It varies by personality. 3 are best midday. 2 teens are early, 1 teen is an evening learner. Homeschooling allows them flexibility to learn when they're sharpest. Unless we have an appt, we don't have a wakeup time.

More important than diet and exercise in my book.

There is a trend in modern schooling to change this. In Bellingham, elementary schools start at 8, followed by high schools, then middle schools. The science is clear. HS should open last, but that screws with after school activities, hence the compromise here.

Yeah it's even been proven that kids do better if they're allowed extra sleep especially in high school. I believe a study said that if school started at 9 instead of 8 in the morning it would increase participation and health of the students.

That's all my generation was really ever taught in school, just study for a career in an office cubicle in order to be a good wage slave and consume material goods. Thank God I never bought into that BS, but that was what we were spoon fed in those days.

Normative statement, there. Where did you get the idea that a well-integrated and cultivated personality is a prerequisite for success in this society? It's all about pedigree and school connections. The kind of thing that you're either born with or not.
