Later school start times let students get adequate sleep: Study ANI | Updated: Apr 19, 2021 12:15 IST
Washington [US], April 19 (ANI): A new study explored the significant benefits of later school start times for middle and high school students sleep schedules.
The findings of the study were published in the journal Sleep .
Sleep is essential to a student s overall health, social development, and academic achievement, yet lack of sleep is common among children and adolescents. Biological changes to sleep cycles during puberty make falling asleep early difficult for adolescents. This, coupled with early school start times, means that students often end up with insufficient sleep.
