[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted this suggestion in the previous thread but it seems to be a better fit in this thread:
	
I'm sure I'm missing something (perhaps something to do with the bus logistics) but I don't understand why they did not vote to have elem. schools start 20 minutes later, middle schools ten minutes earlier (7.45) and high schools 40 minutes later at 8.15. I suggest this even though my child is in middle school and would not be happy about getting to school ten minutes earlier. However, I think it is worth it to get that extra sleep when he is older. I am already starting to notice that his sleep patterns are changing. He is a good kid who goes to bed at 8.30 without any fuss but it is taking him longer to fall asleep and it is getting harder to get him out of bed in the morning and yes we do limit screen time on school night - no screens for a couple of hours before bedtime.

Your middle schooler goes to bed at 8:30?! Amazing.[/quote]
Yes I know but it takes a lot of effort on my part AND he is very cooperative.  He knows the reason why he has an early bedtime so that helps.  I try to get him to finish homework by 7 and I am strict about screen time.  He can stay up on Friday and Saturday but not later than 10.30.  I just don't think this will continue in high school.  He will have more homework which means he will on the computer late and that will make it even harder to fall asleep.  Plus as I said in my original post, his sleep rhythms are already changing and he is having a tough time falling asleep even though he is in bed with the light off by 8.30.  [/quote]
