    Teens are sleeping less than ever. Experts say schools can help by pushing back start times.

    Teens are sleeping less than ever, with studies showing 37% of 12-13-year-olds and 22% of 18-19-year-olds getting seven or more hours of sleep nightly—the lowest rates in 30 years. Experts suggest pushing back school start times, like at Mount Desert Island High School in Maine, could improve teen sleep, health, and academic performance. Research links insufficient sleep to chronic disease risks and negative outcomes, while smartphone use at night exacerbates the issue.
