About Class Wake

Shifts in the sleep-wake cycle at puberty mean that most adolescents get their best sleep between 11 p.m. and 8 a.m. The American Academy of Pediatrics, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and American Medical Association all recommend that middle and high schools start class no earlier than 830 a.m. to allow students to get healthy sleep

Our analysis of sleep also indicates that later start times affect students' wake-up times but not bedtimes thus, the effect of later start times on nighttime sleep comes about entirely through a delay in wake-up time rather than a change in bedtime. The new law requires public middle schools to begin classes at 800 a.m. or later and

As of 2011, the median start time for American high schools Using this random variation, they nd that having a start time of 700 a.m. versus no class in rst period decreases achievement by about 0.15 SDs in that class, and by about 0.10 SDs in subsequent classes. 2.2 Sunlight, sleep, and

Pushing back start times has a direct impact on how much kids sleep. It's no surprise that teens wake up later when their school day starts later. Notably, though, they tend to go to bed around the same timeresulting in more time under the covers, as Meltzer, Wahlstrom, and colleagues showed in a longitudinal study Sleep, Vol. 44, No. 7

Most classes are taught really quite poorly. I used to describe my brain as a big flywheel that took a long time to speed up and a long time to slow down. You can arrive at that base on a quotwhen people wake upquot graph, but such a graph also gives a lot more information

In the next academic year Fall 2009, students in third grade moved from a previous start time of 910 am to 745 am, whereas students in grades 4-5 switched from a start time of 820 am to 745 am to accommodate a switch in the start time for middle and high school students from 730 am to 815 am.
