The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a report about teens, sleep, and the ideal time to start school. It found that 4 out of 5 junior high and high school students are starting school too early. Too early = any time before 8:30 a.m. 

This wasn’t a small school sampling, either. It included 40,000 public junior and high schools.

Now, science agrees with teens who act like you’re asking for their kidneys when you tell them get up in the mornings: They shouldn’t have to get up for school. Specifically, they shouldn’t have to get up for school so early.
