This seems so obvious, but schools still wonder why kids come to school at 7 am unenergetic and half concious after spending most afternoons forced to do something and having like 5+ assignments due the next day with a sprinkle of tests throughout the week. Then have the decency to berate the children on their laziness. 🤦♀️
@@EcoEats-rk4wk Where I live, classes generally start at 8:00, but I occasionally had some classes at 7:00 in high school. To make it worse - it was PE, so we looked like a group of unmotivated zombies running around with a ball then. If it was supposed to make us more energetic for other classes, it didn't work at all.
I grew up in England and for me secondary school started at 9 am and went until 4. And then I moved to America and my high school started at 7:25 am and ended at around 12 or 1, I can’t remember exactly. Either way, I noticed I was just absolutely exhausted with the earlier start time, and would always nap for at least an hour after coming home, when I never took naps when I lived in England. I thought it was awesome that I’d get more hours to myself in the day with the earlier school day finish, but it makes you so tired that you end up actually losing time.
As a former teen (27 now) who became suicidal due to these issues.. i still dont understand why schools dont adapt to the biological needs of the youngsters. Long story incoming; Your teen years are some of the most important years when it comes to personality-, brain-, social-, mental- & physical development. Sleep is ESSENTIAL for healthy, functional adolescents. I only fell asleep around 4:00, had to get up at 6:00 and travel 1,5 hr for school. It was utter hell. I was shit at tests and learning due to the sleep deprivation. On the odd days that school started in the afternoon, i suddenly excelled at tests and learning and i was "a whole different person" according to the teachers and peers. There were a few months when school only started around 12:30 due to teacher shortages, and at the end of that period i got the advice to go to higher ed levels, from practical+theory to advanced theory (we work with different educational levels within high schools here; practical, practical + theory, advanced theory, & theory + science). But as soon as the shortage was fixed and school started at 08:00 again, my grades dropped from 9's & 10's to pathetic 6's. They still wondered why I "wasn't doing my best like before" whilst completely ignoring my sleep deprivation problems. 🤦🏻 Anyhoo, i dropped out in 1st year of uni since i became psychotic and suicidal. Had to be admitted in MH hospital for 2,5 yrs to become somewhat stable again. Later heard that 7 other classmates went through the same struggles, and 3 others unfortunately succeeded in canceling themselves.. This is an issue that shouldn't be ignored any longer. The safety & stability of our young ones are at high risk!
I would be cautious of anything coming from the current education system. Look around the world and see what others have tried. No more blind experiments from career socialists.
I don't disagree with what Sprouts is saying. I just think that we should look to countries that don't use chemical intervention. Find and implement what does work before "experimenting". Teachers will vote for knocking an hour off their work day. They just won't tag another hour onto the end of the day.
I also start school at 8:45 but I have to wake up at 6 am because I go to school in another place so I’m always so tired all the time. I also have ADD so mixed with being tired I always am trying to self teach myself at home after I take a nap.
I support the idea of changing the beginning hour of school since I was a student and now as a mother of a teenager I still believe the same thing. It makes no sense to have sleepy students in classes!!!
Cut they internet access, implement 9-10 p.m. lights off depending when you wake up, throw their smarphone and buy only call phone and you will be surprised how good parenting makes a way for happy and rested child.
@@nightmaresturningoftendejavue I agree with u in general but this is not the only factors that make teenagers tired...it' s not about good or bad parenting...my experience shows that children need boundaries but there are not more effective or less tired at school because of the boundaries...

Yeah. Part of why changing start times didn't work where I am is due to that. Older kids came home later than their younger peers. Nobody was around. Parents went apeshit.

Our country tried daylight savings once. All the schools were like, "We'll start 1 hr early/late from the next day" and practically kept the same time schedule as before.
Yes this should have been done long ago, the problem is that such propositions are easily considered by parents and the authorities as 'you just want an easy life, or you dont want to struggle or you just dont want to work hard' and they are tempted to say this, so it became really easy to dismiss such an idea. The same goes for other sensitive issues like mental health, its really easy to dismiss any idea of change in habits and behaviour of people.
It's a flaw of the culture that we see not wanting to have unnecessary difficulty as being lazy. Suffering, hardship, & hard work are guarantees in life, yes, but that doesn't mean that we can't make it easier where we can. Is it lazy to use a power drill instead of a screwdriver? Of course not, that's just being smart to achieve the goals of saving time and bodily wear & tear. Why should something as essential as sleep be viewed any differently? Especially for those who are in such a key stage of development in life?
School is destroying a lot of kids because it’s not mentally or emotionally healthy for them to constantly be subjugating their wants and needs to an artificial metric of “achievement” that doesn’t serve anyone but the school system.
I do want an easy life. Why is that a bad thing to want? Doesn't everyone want to live easily? People who say it's bad to live easily should never drive because that's just an easy excuse to avoid walking. They should also make their own clothes, hunt and grow their own food, build their own houses and do everything on their own, considering buying things and asking for help are all just excuses to avoid hard work.
This is a good point. I don't see a reason to make life unnecessarily hard. We should be willing and able to do hard things IF they are necessary, but why just make it hard for the sake of hard? @@warrior4hire522

2:08 As a teenager i was depressed for around 2~3 years. The school stress wasn't great and the lack of sleep didn't help either. For somewhat related reasons i was allowed to stay out of school for around 3 months. During that time i made more progress than the years before that and even beat my depression. I dont know where i would be now, if i hadn't been able to give my body the oppertunity to let it deal with my emotions. Sometimes all you need is a break and some sleep. I can wholeheartedly reccomend it if anyone is in a hard place.
Good luck trying to sell Biological truths to most schools. That said, one factor which hasn't been mentioned is the work cycle of the parents - a lot of jobs need you to be ready by 9am and end at 5pm, which may make it harder for parents to get their children to school on time in areas with bad transport. I do support the idea of changing in accordance to natural rhythm, but this change couldn't be made in isolation.
I think there would be an easy solution to this: teachers would still come early, so school could open at 7:50 am, for families who have to drop off their kids earlier, but classes would start only at 9 am....
@@JustALittleAcoustic , they exist? I've never seen one. Tho, it's probably a country issue. At least I now can take long walks without getting too tired. It's all thanks to the fact that it was taking me 30 minutes to get to school on foot.
I’m anti-social as hell and a complete shut in since I despise talking to new people. I rely on discord and all that to talk to my friends, and keep to myself at school when given the option.
@@jasonnelson9141 It's certainly not difficult to do the same. They're either stupid for not having tried it, or lazy for stopping after having done it.
@@LautipepoZthe problem of me falling asleep early essentially makes my body oversleep and wake up 1 hour before school starts. I dunno why that happens
As a teenager, I'm struggling with this a lot. I always wondered what's wrong with me cuz classes aren't even that boring. I just get sleepy. But then not everyone in my class is sleepy. I wonder why 😔
I'm 16 years old and I can tell you something. I don't have any appetite, I feel like the only reason I eat is because of boredom. I have no desire to go into direct meetings or conversations with other people and lately I hardly even talk to others.
There is a way to break out of this vicious cycle (I mean the talking part). It may sound insanely hard (or even impossible) but try talking to people. Maybe you will find your best friend among them and begin to change. It may (actually, it's pretty likely) not work the first few times you try, but when it works, it starts making a difference really quickly.
I’m anti-social and hate talking to people that I don’t really know, but if I start talking, I will not stop. It’s really weird. If I can, I’ll avoid going out and doing things, and avoid groups of people or places that have lots of people in them. I just prefer to be by myself. I’ve already got plenty of friends, I don’t really think I need many more.
Sleep deprivation is one of the many reasons I switched to online classes. I wasn't getting the hours of sleep I needed because I was forced to be up way sooner than I was supposed to. Now that I can work at my own pace and actually get rest I've found myself to be much more productive and happy. It really shows that these schools need to learn to accomodate for different internal clocks instead of acting like everyone is supposed to be the same.
I want to do this but i dont at the same time. I stay on school though cause theres more cons than pros and cuz of difficulties and emotions i have from online class (daydreaming, off task, loneliness).😕
I didn’t understand just how bad this problem was until I got to middle/high school, I was an earlybird as a child, even for a child I fell asleep and woke up pretty early, but I was shocked by this whole thing when I got to later school years and became a teenager, I am still an early bird but I’m a teenager earlybird, and my sleep cycle matches pretty close to an adult night owl
this video is just a cope for lazy teens who are trying to come up with an excuse for not going to sleep early and getting a full nights rest, this video is complete bs and how i know its bs is because i (a teen) struggled to get a full nights sleep, recently i found out that it wasn't some dumb circadian rhythm that was stopping me from falling asleep, its because right before i went to sleep i would be staring at my screen and then i wonder why i cant fall asleep, also a lack of discipline in my life was also a big factor, stop lying to yourselves this video is harmful in so many ways, its telling people that their bad habits aren't something that they're in control of and can change but instead saying its due to some dumb circadian rhythm that they cant control, the research on it by the way is questionable at best, by saying this they're removing all free will from the equation and giving people an excuse to live like slobs, don't believe these lies, you are in control of your life and you can do something about it
So if I understand well, decades of research and science aren't true because you used your phone? There can be a discipline dimention, of course, but the study of Gideon Dunster showed literally that there's a limit to how much teens will stay on their phone, and that limit is driven by biological factors. Besides, your experience does not discredit the video. You could have been staring at your phone for hours BECAUSE you didn't manage to fall asleep, and then growing up that reversed. Finally, research on it is very solid and chronotypes have been known for years, there is even a genetic component in how chronotypes function and an evolutionary explanation. Finally, not everything is black and white, there can be behavior and biology interacting, just because you disagree with something it doesn't automatically make that thing a lie
Sure, just how excessive screen watching before bedtime and lack of discipline could be reasons for teens to get a proper full night's sleep. Change in their circadian rhythm is as well. It's biology! It can also be that the impluse for screen watching before bedtime is an outcome of the change in circadian rhythm. Being aware of our biological changes only makes it likely for schools to implement better strategies and for teenagers to better control their impulse and organize their sleep.
@sprouts there's also the changes in executive functioning due to asymmetrical development of the prefrontal cortex that leads to less impulse control and more revenge bedtime procrastination in teens
@@fartmaster6977 if schools change their times then kids will just stay up later and wake up later, what is changing the time school starts gonna do? to teach kids that if you whine enough you'll get your way? wow what a valuable lesson am i right
Literally every kid at school drinks energy drinks made for 18+ even when a lot of them get at least 8 hours of sleep. Many kids including me barely get 4-6.
18+ rating on an energy drink doesn't mean that people who are over 18 can safely drink it. It means the drink is basically toxic and you need to be an adult in order to consent to doing that to yourself.
I like this channel for two main reasons: 1) The topics are really interesting and I can learn something new 2) They say "suicide" instead of "Unalive". Seriously I hate the word "unalive", is stupid, childish and seems to ridiculize a serious problem of our society.
I absolutely think that this is a wonderful idea! I also personally think that the entire school system needs to be completely overhauled anyways as to not only give more information, updated information, but also help its students not only reach their full potential, but also help them realize what that potential might be, how to apply it to the real world, and how to function in a modern society. We can clearly see that a blanket curriculum is not the most effective solution for our schools, worse still it seems to actually be doing worse now than it has ever been before (thanks to several factors which I will not get into here). The current system by and large hasn't been updated in any meaningful way since its inception around 150 years ago in the Industrial Revolution, wherein its primary purpose was to raise the literacy rate and move people directly into factory positions. Now that the settings have for the most part changed a small section of what is taught has changed, but the underlying system remains the same.

Our brain almost forgets the negative feelings and everything, as our brains are made to focus solely on the problems in the present. If we dwell on problems and those negative feelings form the past, we won’t be able to focus as much on the problems we are currently facing. So, most likely, they did just forget how bad it was

As a teenager i was depressed for around 2~3 years.
The school stress wasn't great and the lack of sleep didn't help either.
For somewhat related reasons i was allowed to stay out of school for around 3 months.
During that time i made more progress than the years before that and even beat my depression.
I dont know where i would be now, if i hadn't been able to give my body the oppertunity to let it deal with my emotions.
Sometimes all you need is a break and some sleep.
I can wholeheartedly reccomend it if anyone is in a hard place.

Good luck trying to sell Biological truths to most schools.
That said, one factor which hasn't been mentioned is the work cycle of the parents - a lot of jobs need you to be ready by 9am and end at 5pm, which may make it harder for parents to get their children to school on time in areas with bad transport.
I do support the idea of changing in accordance to natural rhythm, but this change couldn't be made in isolation.
👍👍
I think there would be an easy solution to this: teachers would still come early, so school could open at 7:50 am, for families who have to drop off their kids earlier, but classes would start only at 9 am....
@@sproutsbut then the kids would still lose sleep
school buses exist for a reason don’t they
@@JustALittleAcoustic , they exist? I've never seen one. Tho, it's probably a country issue. At least I now can take long walks without getting too tired. It's all thanks to the fact that it was taking me 30 minutes to get to school on foot.
Hearing about schools starting before 8am in other countries feels so weird for me, because here in Australia every school I’ve been to starts at 9am

School drains us of our lives, emotions, friends, family and dreams
wdym friends family ? I have made so many friends and I still spent time with my family, even if I have to stay up late
I’m anti-social as hell and a complete shut in since I despise talking to new people. I rely on discord and all that to talk to my friends, and keep to myself at school when given the option.
Most teenagers are usually asleep at 7am. Now imagine them being forced to learn calculas at those hours. 🤦♀️

@@LautipepoZthe problem of me falling asleep early essentially makes my body oversleep and wake up 1 hour before school starts. I dunno why that happens

As a teenager, I'm struggling with this a lot. I always wondered what's wrong with me cuz classes aren't even that boring. I just get sleepy. But then not everyone in my class is sleepy. I wonder why 😔

Some kids live closer to the school and don't really have to worry about getting there quickly.

@@Kalani_Saiko thank you
@@Kalani_Saiko That’s fair
I'm 16 years old and I can tell you something.
I don't have any appetite, I feel like the only reason I eat is because of boredom.
I have no desire to go into direct meetings or conversations with other people and lately I hardly even talk to others.
There is a way to break out of this vicious cycle (I mean the talking part). It may sound insanely hard (or even impossible) but try talking to people. Maybe you will find your best friend among them and begin to change. It may (actually, it's pretty likely) not work the first few times you try, but when it works, it starts making a difference really quickly.
I’m anti-social and hate talking to people that I don’t really know, but if I start talking, I will not stop. It’s really weird. If I can, I’ll avoid going out and doing things, and avoid groups of people or places that have lots of people in them. I just prefer to be by myself. I’ve already got plenty of friends, I don’t really think I need many more.

I was looking for this comment
Sleep deprivation is one of the many reasons I switched to online classes. I wasn't getting the hours of sleep I needed because I was forced to be up way sooner than I was supposed to. Now that I can work at my own pace and actually get rest I've found myself to be much more productive and happy. It really shows that these schools need to learn to accomodate for different internal clocks instead of acting like everyone is supposed to be the same.
Same same
I want to do this but i dont at the same time.
I stay on school though cause theres more cons than pros and cuz of difficulties and emotions i have from online class (daydreaming, off task, loneliness).😕

Hear me out just for a sec bro 🙏
I didn’t understand just how bad this problem was until I got to middle/high school, I was an earlybird as a child, even for a child I fell asleep and woke up pretty early, but I was shocked by this whole thing when I got to later school years and became a teenager, I am still an early bird but I’m a teenager earlybird, and my sleep cycle matches pretty close to an adult night owl
100% Same!!!!
The sun be enjoying the views in the thumbnail💀
She look like she's enjoying it too 😏
this video is just a cope for lazy teens who are trying to come up with an excuse for not going to sleep early and getting a full nights rest, this video is complete bs and how i know its bs is because i (a teen) struggled to get a full nights sleep, recently i found out that it wasn't some dumb circadian rhythm that was stopping me from falling asleep, its because right before i went to sleep i would be staring at my screen and then i wonder why i cant fall asleep, also a lack of discipline in my life was also a big factor, stop lying to yourselves this video is harmful in so many ways, its telling people that their bad habits aren't something that they're in control of and can change but instead saying its due to some dumb circadian rhythm that they cant control, the research on it by the way is questionable at best, by saying this they're removing all free will from the equation and giving people an excuse to live like slobs, don't believe these lies, you are in control of your life and you can do something about it
So if I understand well, decades of research and science aren't true because you used your phone?
There can be a discipline dimention, of course, but the study of Gideon Dunster showed literally that there's a limit to how much teens will stay on their phone, and that limit is driven by biological factors.
Besides, your experience does not discredit the video. You could have been staring at your phone for hours BECAUSE you didn't manage to fall asleep, and then growing up that reversed.
Finally, research on it is very solid and chronotypes have been known for years, there is even a genetic component in how chronotypes function and an evolutionary explanation.
Finally, not everything is black and white, there can be behavior and biology interacting, just because you disagree with something it doesn't automatically make that thing a lie
Sure, just how excessive screen watching before bedtime and lack of discipline could be reasons for teens to get a proper full night's sleep. Change in their circadian rhythm is as well. It's biology! It can also be that the impluse for screen watching before bedtime is an outcome of the change in circadian rhythm.
Being aware of our biological changes only makes it likely for schools to implement better strategies and for teenagers to better control their impulse and organize their sleep.
@sprouts there's also the changes in executive functioning due to asymmetrical development of the prefrontal cortex that leads to less impulse control and more revenge bedtime procrastination in teens
did you not watch the video on the benefits of changing school times or are you just gonna ignore that
@@fartmaster6977 if schools change their times then kids will just stay up later and wake up later, what is changing the time school starts gonna do? to teach kids that if you whine enough you'll get your way? wow what a valuable lesson am i right

I remember being so exhausted and forgot to do homework one night and my teacher and parents acted like it was the end of the world
if everyone needs an alarm, dosent that mean school starts too early?
Not always. Sometimes, your circadian rythms are too "late" for you to wake up before 11 am naturally. But they never account for that.

Literally every kid at school drinks energy drinks made for 18+ even when a lot of them get at least 8 hours of sleep. Many kids including me barely get 4-6.
😌
Yes I get 4-5 hrs it makes school very stressful.. I am a 2025 graduate ; can't wait till I'm out of here
18+ rating on an energy drink doesn't mean that people who are over 18 can safely drink it. It means the drink is basically toxic and you need to be an adult in order to consent to doing that to yourself.

I absolutely think that this is a wonderful idea! I also personally think that the entire school system needs to be completely overhauled anyways as to not only give more information, updated information, but also help its students not only reach their full potential, but also help them realize what that potential might be, how to apply it to the real world, and how to function in a modern society. We can clearly see that a blanket curriculum is not the most effective solution for our schools, worse still it seems to actually be doing worse now than it has ever been before (thanks to several factors which I will not get into here). The current system by and large hasn't been updated in any meaningful way since its inception around 150 years ago in the Industrial Revolution, wherein its primary purpose was to raise the literacy rate and move people directly into factory positions. Now that the settings have for the most part changed a small section of what is taught has changed, but the underlying system remains the same.
