Should your school change the start time to 10 AM?
A UK high school delayed 10 AM from 8:50 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., leading to over 50% fewer illness-related absences and a 12% rise in exam progress, according to a four-year study. ππ
The later start aligned with teensβ natural sleep cycles, improving health, focus, and academic performance. When the school reverted to earlier starts, illness rates rose 30%.
The findings highlight how aligning schedules with adolescent biology can boost both well-being and achievement, supporting calls for later school start times.β
