[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to hs in the 90s and our start time was 7:10. I wasn’t on a cell phone. [b]It was brutal and looking back I strongly believe my hs years and my entire friggin trajectory in life would’ve been better if I didn’t have to wake up by 6am.[/b] I won’t do this to my kids.

Are you always this absurdly melodramatic, or only on DCUM?[/quote]
The chronic sleep deprivation heavily contributed to my first major depressive episode at 16. The consequences of which reverberated throughout the following years. It's not melodrama. [/quote]

Then you should hmave gone to bed earlier or napped.  That’s not why.  [/quote]
Lol you are ignorant AF about human physiology at that age and the fact that I played sports year round and took AP courses. I literally could not go to bed any earlier. And I also had anxiety around bedtime thinking yo myself “I have to be awake in 7 hours, I have to be awake in 6.5 hours… I’m going to be so tired.” [/quote]

And, how would later start times fix that.  So, you get home from sports, homework - so you get home an hour later, you end up going to bed an hour later and waking up an hour later.  You still will not get enough sleep but it was your choice to do sports and AP.  [/quote]
