[quote=Anonymous]Agree with PP. And there's also a mismatch with kids' biological clocks and the times they have to be at school. Our bodies want us to be back in the cave with only natural light; our entire environment, including the expectation that we get up before sunrise, is 100% unnatural from a physiological and evolutionary viewpoint. The shift in kids' ability to go to sleep is real, too. I've seen it with all three kids -- now 17, 14, and 12 -- as they've gotten older they simply cannot fall asleep as early as they used to. Plus there's so, so, so much homework. It's not at all optimal but it's also not unusual between that delayed onset of sleepiness and the amount of homework that they have that the older two in high school aren't able to go to bed before 11 pm, and that when they do, they may not be able to fall asleep. We have created a system where we're trying to shove square pegs into round holes.[/quote]
