[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Same old crap. This "shifted circadian rhythm" thing must have magically sprung up with the invention of the computer, cell phone, and texting. I have no recollection at all of ever being tired in high school. My mother says that we all were in bed by 10 and well-rested in the morning. Today kids spend hours on their phones, Facebook, etc, and it cuts into their study time thus they stay up until midnight or later.[/quote]

Perhaps the school you went to wasn't very challenging. I had sports after school and often activities after that (theater when shows were going on.) Then I took the and then walked a mile home and sometimes didn't get there until 10 o'clock. Then had two+ hours of homework to do. Thankfully my high school did not start until 8:15, but I was tired all the time.[/quote]

Funny that you should look down at your nose at me.  I went to a private school that started at 8am.  Got out at 3.  Played two varsity sports.  I will repeat.  I have no recollection of ever being tired in school.  Sleeping certainly was not tolerated like it is in public schools today.[/quote]
