The research is clear. Later school start times improve the health, safety and academic success of our teens. @CaliforniaPTA is proud to co-sponsor #SB328. Pls follow the science. @AsmFrazier @ASMGabriel @J_GallagherAD3 @AsmGarcia @AsmEGarciaAD56

"The time between 6 and 8am is the deadliest time for pedestrians in school-transportation-related crashes. Making the school day start later would make children easier to see, and everyone more alert" https://t.co/zzBHpAqi0Z #SB328 #startschoollater #drowsydriving

"When school start times moved later by one hour, average crash rates for teen drivers dropped 16.5%" (Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine). Vote YES on SB328. @BauerKahan @AsmTbh @TylerDiep @AsmCottie @AsmJamesRamos @AsmRobertRivas @AsmChristySmith @BuffyWicks #SB328

#SB328 #California can fix this!

[The Happy Sleeper @thehappysleeper]

The research is clear on this topic. Sleep deprivation is rampant in teens, leading to depression, suicide risk, safety concerns, and more. Yes on #sb328 is a vote for the wellbeing of children. @AsmKevinMcCarty @Christyfor38 @TylerDiep @AsmRodriguez52 @Ash_Kalra

[The Happy Sleeper @thehappysleeper]

We could not agree more. Research is clear on this topic. The best decision for our children is yes on SB 328 and no more 7:30am start times for teens. California will set the stage for a wider ripple effect.

[Terry Cralle, M.S., R.N., CCSH @PowerofSleep]

Sleep deprivation is associated with increased risk of diabetes, car crashes, substance abuse, & more. But just the research on #suicide should be enough to pass #SB328. @KevinKileyCA @AsmKevinMcCarty @Ash_Kalra @TylerDiep @AsmRodriguez52 @AsmChristySmith @Christyfor38

Please vote YES on SB 328 to move school start times to a reasonable 8 or 8:30am. This is shown to improve health, wellbeing, and safety. Please support what is best for kids, not just the status quo! Thank you! @Ash_Kalra

Lots of our sleep clients ask us about this and we always dissuade them from using it for sleep The best place for babies to sleep is on their back, on a flat, firm, empty surface with no bumpers, blankets or positioners! https://t.co/0vILKCbC9S
