I seriously do not understand going the fuck to bed earlier. Just go to bed earlier. Your body adapts over time. Sure schools could move the start time, but if not, just start the sleep sooner.
They won't. So it doesn't matter.
Yeah man, what even is a circadian rhythm lol
The 15-18 year old brain does not work that way and it is simple as that.
No, it doesn't. Where the hell did you find that nonsense?
I've been alive for over 30 years and my body hasn't adapted yet. How much more time will it take?
Working off of memory so take this with a good amount of salt. If I recall correctly, studies have found that teenagers generally don't go to bed later to match if school starts later, but the same applies the other way too. It may be that they technically could get that sleep by going to bed earlier, but as a society that is not a viable proposal to fix the problems that arise from their lack of sleep.
Also just to make sure I'm not misunderstood, I don't dispute that individuals can get used to a new sleep schedule or will go to bed earlier if they have to get up earlier, just that it isn't as easy as waking two hours earlier, means go to sleep two hours earlier for teenagers especially.
No you don't understand, the kids are sleepy eepy and it's someone else's fault!
