Background
A study made in an english high school showed that students that started at 10am performed better in test scores, had higher attendance and improved sleep duration. Teens produce sleep melatonin whoch is a hormone in your body that tells you to sleep at different times to others, as kids in primary school they prefer waking up earlier but as you reach teenage years its harder to wake up as early. The school system should be built around our bodies, not against them, and the study proves it.
