Teens' anxiety levels dropped during pandemic, study finds

Starting at even 8:30 would have been life changing for me. I, like you, just couldn’t fall asleep before midnight (still don’t). Not that I think we should accommodate people like me that naturally are later, but the average 16 year old isn’t happily waking up at 6 am.

I totally agree that if we focused on getting kids a reasonable amount of sleep and a healthy meal or two (and hydrated!), we’d likely be able to have much better outcomes.

The CDC recommends schools start at 8:30. I have the same sleeping habit as you, regardless of my work schedule (including graveyard shift over the years), I naturally wake up later than 7-8am and I am most productive late noon or after 1am.
