This is exacerbated by an unproductive amount of both homework and screen time.

Getting up approximately at sunrise should be fine most people assuming they have many of the other factors in place like a wind down period, screen time cut off, dark room, low or soothing sounds, good temperature etc.

However I cant imagine that for many kids they have all these in place, and Id find it hard to believe that anything a high school maybe trying to teach them today is going to be more lifelong value than maximizing their physical/brain development (until 25!) and learning good sleep hygiene.




When your physiology wants you to wake up varies by age and by individual. It isn’t just a matter of sleep hygiene.


Hmm, mentioning that sunrise is at 4am gets downvoted. I have to assume you live in the south.


> Getting up approximately at sunrise should be fine

What, 4am?
