This is a petition to make the starting time of all US high schools no earlier than 9:00. An adolescent needs 9-10 hours of sleep a night, according to studies, which means that high schoolers need to be in bed asleep by an average of 10:00 at night. This means that teens have less time to spend with their familys, and not enough energy to operate in a school environment in which it is incredibly important for them to be able to do so.
