As school starts, take a look at how much sleep is needed. Especially for kindergartners and teens! Please 🙏 make sure your kids get enough sleep. Late night practice isn’t worth it!! @NewJerseyAAP @AmerAcadPeds

"Every hour of lost sleep is associated with a 38% increase in feeling hopeless and 58% of teen suicide attempts," said mother of two and former psychiatric nurse Anna Cheung during a recent @HillsboroughBOE meeting. "Make healthier school hours a priority."

Hey coaches! Take this message straight to your kids. They need to know that sleeping more improves athletic performance. #startschoollater

[Kirsten Jones @kirstenjonesinc]

On next week's #RaisingAthletes podcast, Lisa L. Lewis joins Kirsten to talk about how sleep impacts everything we do, including athletic performance. Listen to a sneak peek as she talks about a study with Stanford Men's Basketball Team

@RoxannePrichard @StartSchoolL8r @matthorsnell @Sleep_Strong @echanlon Times are changing and public awareness about the importance of teen sleep is growing. May be time to try again? #startschoollater

Early school start time is a particularly egregious external factor affecting sleep disparities

[Project Sleep @project_sleep]

🎙️Listen now to The Project Sleep Podcast Sleep Insights Series Ep. 3 - Your Environment & Sleep Disparities, where Dr. Dayna Johnson talks about the factors influencing one’s ability to get a good night’s sleep and how policies can shape sleep & health: https://t.co/QDtOVWFuUH

Since 1897, the amount of sleep recommended for kids has declined 0.71 mins/yr

Actual sleep declined nearly identically

With one exception, none of the papers listed a rationale for their recommendations

Do kids really need less sleep now than in 1897?

You decide💤

@HippyMomPhD @StartSchoolL8r @ReadingFam We are using the data to change minds AND start times. Here in Ridgewood NJ high school will start @ 8:20 next year, 35 mins later as of Sept ‘23. Just decided, after many years of advocacy. #startschoollater

The shift in the circadian rhythms of adolescents results in them getting sleepy later. The reason it is imperative to help teens get to sleep is studies have shown that disrupting circadian rhythms impair hippocampus-dependent memory, reducing the recall of new learning. #sleep

I remember falling asleep in my first period high school English class. And trying desperately not to, every single day. Some people think teens will be better by fighting through this experience? #startschoollater

[Start School Later Ridgewood @RidgewoodSSL]

@HES_Principal @StartSchoolL8r Hoping that all of NJ will soon follow our lead @NewJerseyAAP @RidgewoodHS #startschoollater

Basic needs include adequate sleep. Now that we know how to fix this, there is no excuse not to #startschoollater
