This July might go down in history as the beginning of what could become a nationwide public high school reform \u2014 namely, a half-hour delay in school starting times!<\/span><\/p>\n As of this fall, Californian high schoolers will be checking in at 8:30 AM sharp instead of the usual 8:00 AM, culminating in <\/span>an additional two and a half hours of sleep<\/b> each week.<\/span><\/p>\n As a result, state schools will finally be in line with the official American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommendations. Since 2014, experts have advised against high and middle schools <\/span>starting earlier than 8:30 AM<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
