According to the National Sleep Foundation, Teens spend a great portion of each day in
school; however, they are unable to maximize the learning opportunities afforded by the
education system, since sleep deprivation impairs their ability to be alert, pay attention,
solve problems, cope with stress and retain information (Backgrounder: Later School
Start Times, 2016).

According to the National Sleep Foundation, One solution that has worked to solve this
problem is flipping start times, most commonly elementary with high school. This
solution requires no extra buses or drivers, just a change in the order of pickups. This
schedule also seems to be more appropriate to elementary school students sleep
schedules, because young children tend to wake up earlier in the morning (Eight Major
Obstacles to Delaying School Start Times, 2017).
