A July 6, 2010 Chicago Sun-Times article reports that, according to a small study recently administered at a Rhode Island boarding school, teens whose school day started 30 minutes later (moved from 8 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.) were more alert in class, were in better moods, and were less likely to be tardy. Researchers believe that teens tend to be in their deepest sleep cycle around dawn, which may account for the study's findings.
The article is available at the Chicago Sun-Times Web site.
