Many of us know we don’t get enough sleep, but imagine if there was a simple solution: getting up later. In a speech at the British Science Festival, Dr. Paul Kelley from Oxford University said schools should stagger their starting times to work with the natural rhythms of their students. This would improve exam results and students’ health (lack of sleep can cause diabetes, depression, obesity and other health problems).
What does Dr. Kelley suggest about the current starting time for schools?
It is not ideal for students’ health It can be detrimental to students with pre-existing health problems such as diabetes and depression It works with students’ natural sleep rhythms It is too early for both students and teachers
