It was nice being interviewed about the Nevada proposal, but I'd like my next interview to be about Ohio. Any lawmakers in our great state ready to be the hero of student health and fiscal responsibility? @GayleManningOH @brennerforohio @DrVernonSykes @DrGailPav @steve4ohiohouse
Our Health Policy Director @StacySimera on the @NevadaReady school start time proposal: "...it is inefficient and unwise to start schools at a time that collides with biology..." Can @OHEducation be next to act on student health and success? fox5vegas.com/2023/10/06/wha…

Highlights from #Sleep2023 #sleep @StartSchoolL8r @StartLaterAACo @SSLOhio @StartLaterHTX @SSLRidgefieldCT #StartSchoolLater
A new #SLEEP2023 study found that teens with greater variability in their #sleep patterns have a higher risk for school-related problems. They were more likely to be suspended, expelled, or receive a D or F in a course. bit.ly/3WKZ44K

A bill that would push back school start times for middle and high school students won the backing of the Senate Education PreK Committee on Monday. Middle schools could start no earlier than 8 a.m. under the bill, and high schools no earlier than 8:30 a.m.
Universal school choice is now the law, later school start times supported, and more in our #Florida #roundup.

Many people "lose" an hour of sleep after the change to Daylight Savings, but did you know that teens lose two hours every school night, often related to busy schedules and early wake times. Learn more about supporting sleep via @sleepfoundation #NationalSleepAwarenessWeek

"A 7:30am school start time that might work for a 10yo jolts a 13yo from a sound, biologically predetermined sleep phase.A recent article in @sciam notes this means teens who wake up that early miss out on both restorative sleep & REM sleep." via @edutopia edutopia.org/article/school-…

“Mental health is very sensitive to sleep...To operate at peak levels—emotionally and intellectually—most teens should sleep between 8 & 10 hours each night. Less than 7 & more than 11 hours is unhealthy.” prb.org/resources/more-sleep…

Sleep deprivation among teens is widespread. People tend to blame demanding academic workloads & screen use in the evenings, but one of the biggest obstacles to healthy sleep for teens is school policy. To put it simply, teens’ school days start too early. buckscountycouriertimes.com/…

Intentionally depriving anyone of sleep is wrong. #startschoollater #healthyhours #sleep #health #adolescents #teensleep #wellbeing #mentalhealth
Studies have shown that middle and high school students are negatively impacted by early start times. If later school times help children succeed in school, it seems reasonable to implement them.

Don’t forget to turn your clock back this weekend and get that “extra” hour of sleep. DYK that car crash rates are lower than average right after “fall back” and higher right after “spring forward”? What a difference #sleep can make. Here’s one citation: cell.com/current-biology/ful…

School start times are #publichealth issue, explains @NewJerseyAAP in this presentation. "Evidence supports the fact that teens sleep more when school start times are delayed." Studies also support better teacher satisfaction & mood w/delayed start times! njaap.org/wp-content/uploads…
