[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not your target audience, but that doesn’t sound healthy to me. I’m not judging. I’m just offering my perspective. I’m sure your daughter would adjust to the timing. But the research on shift work suggests it’s very stressful for your body. She’d be waking up in the middle of the night! That messes with your sleep and stress hormones.[/quote]

Im a pp and this is a very good point. From someone whos dh has worked night shift for many years... [/quote]

I am the parent of a high level swimmer and I agree. I would not allow this. Pre-covid, our club had 2-3 school mornings in this practice group before 5a, but fortunately, our Covid schedule is 1-2 school mornings at 530 (in addition to every afternoon). I still don't love it for sleep health, but my 9th grader goes one weekday morning and one weekend. Any more just wouldn't work for my child to stay healthy and they are pretty good about going to bed early. Sleep research shows HSers generally are not wired to go to be early and are constantly trying to catch up. Some kids can handle it, but I don't know anyone that does 5 days at that time. I like the idea of trying it and being willing to say it just doesn't work. [/quote]
