Literally almost every study shows that young people's circadian rhythms are different than really young and old people's. It's the reason why our grandparents would get up at 5 and our teens will sleep in until noon. There's no secret there.
Areas that have later start times for young people have improved academic scores, higher rates of attendance, better physical and mental health outcomes, reduced dependence in caffeine, fewer driving accidents...there's a multitude of benefits.
Besides, we're like totally talking about starting school at 8-9 AM, which is, like, EXACTLY the core starting time for "real jobs." Ya know, like the song says, "workin' 9-5, what a way to make a livin'!"
Oh, no—did I just slip into FLL for a moment there?!
