@SenTuberville DST is not healthy for men or women. It increases cancer by 5% in women and 4% in men. That's just one bad thing about it and it should be enough.

Starting schools after 8:30 AM.

“School there starts later, which was nice, so some days I wouldn’t start school until 9:00, so I’d get up around 8:00....I’d walk to school, take my classes, and around 3/4 PM come back home and do homework or FaceTime with my family” #startschoollater https://t.co/dVtnX8BgSq

Teens have different sleep wake rhythms than younger kids and adults. They deserve healthy school hours to allow them to get the sleep they need but are currently NOT getting.

Good point! We hear that a lot. What about transportation? It takes work, but it is doable

Oppose Permanent Daylight Savings! It leads to increases in #cancer in men and women, and it terrible for #teens and their mental, emotional, and physical health! #SSLCon2024 #live #parentingteens #puberty #teens #boys #girls #sleep #adolescents #teenmentalhealth #Permanentdst

[StartSchoolLaterNewYork @LetThemSleepNY]

Healthy school start times is a policy issue. Without guardrails, school start times are TOO early and NOT aligned with teen biology. 8:30 AM or later. #SSLCon2024 #parentingteens #puberty #teens #boys #girls #sleep #adolescents #teenmentalhealth #teenlivesmatter

[StartSchoolLaterNewYork @LetThemSleepNY]

Teens make better decisions when they aren't sleep deprived! And the best way to ensure they get enough sleep is to move the school start times to healthy hours- 8:30 am or later. #SSLCon2024 #live #parentingteens #puberty #teens #sleep #adolescents #teencrime #teenmentalhealth

@LastWeekTonight did you know teens aren't getting enough sleep and it's not due to cellphones or poor sleep hygiene but public policy? Yep, and the side effects include depression, suicide, car crashes, lower grades, and sports injuries. We could use your help. #letthemsleep

[Healthy Hours @HealthyHours]

If California and Florida can do it so can we. We need to start focusing on how. We are long past why. #letthemsleep #teenmentalhealth @GovKathyHochul

[Healthy Hours @HealthyHours]

Florida's students & families can look forward to later starts to the school day - but many have to wait till 2026
