Delayed start times= more sleep
I have read studies that later start times for high schoolers result in less car crashes, too.

Sleep really is the best medicine. Why does an injury result in more sleep? "...once released from the skin wound, the AMPs act as a messenger and activate receptors in the brain. This activation works as a switch & further prompts sleep neurons to ⬆️ 💤." medicalxpress.com/news/2020-…

Loved chatting with @Sammar_A93 about how essential sleep is to good health - thanks for having me on the show! #VOIdrivetime
People think lack of sleep isn’t impairing them and they can sleep on the weekend. Doctors need to educate their patients about this topic as poor sleep can lead to diabetes, heart disease and possibly Alzheimer’s.

A bit ironic considering the TX Supreme Court heard the oral arguments for this case from home. One of their own even contracted #COVID19. They understand the importance of staying home & just how easily transmissible this virus is. Seems they just don't care. #txlege #VoteByMail

Mental health problems and poor sleep in teenage years: do they begin far earlier than we thought? Looks like it.
Early school starts are triggering mental health problems- see chapter 6.
