Since 1897, the amount of sleep recommended for kids has declined 0.71 mins/yr
Actual sleep declined nearly identically
With one exception, none of the papers listed a rationale for their recommendations

Basic needs include adequate sleep. Now that we know how to fix this, there is no excuse not to #startschoollater

Feb @sciam editorial: "Our cultural views of teens as lazy & of needing sleep as a weakness are harmful & inaccurate. And our grumbling that if we survived early school start times today’s teens can too is callous & dismissive of #science." #K12 #education scientificamerican.com/artic…

New @sciam editorial: “It’s time to stop thinking of school start times as immovable mountains...school district administrators should prioritize [later school start times] & people running for school boards need to add start times to their platforms.”
