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 are some of the effects of following Dr. Kelley’s suggestion?
Better performance at school and improved health Lower risk of diabetes, depression and obesity at the expense of performance at school A change in natural sleep rhythms Increased sense of fulfillment and happiness
