Danai Gurira, Lupita Nyong'o & Angela Bassett by Katja Rahlwes, ELLE, November 2018.
Letting teenagers sleep in could save the
US over $9 billion dollars a year. Studies
show adolescent brains are wired to stay
up and wake up late, that they need 8 to
10 hours of sleep per night, and that
school starts too early to accommodate
this. It’s also estimated that high school
classes starting at 8:30 am or later would
improve student health, boost graduation
rates, raise lifetime earning potential, and
and lower the risk of fatigue-related car
crashes, all of which could potentially
contribute at least $83 billion to the US
economy within a decade. Source Source 2 Source 3
