At St. George's, more sleep equals better performance

Bits and pieces of news and research into teenage sleep habits have shown that High school students go to school too early. Their alarm clocks go off forcing them out of deep sleep. They wander into classrooms still half asleep, researchers say. One school, reacting to the evidence of something surely being wrong, decided to start school one half an hour later. The results are amazing.The article by Felice J. Freyer, is from a Providence, Rhode Island newspaper.

Why do I consider this an important bit of information? I was introduced to the problem while researching sleep maladies in general a few years ago. In fact I wrote an article about the teenage circadian pattern of sleep.
