Saddening and concerning data from +60,000 teens. The less sleep an adolescent has, the more likely they are to engage in a host of harmful behaviours (self-harm included). jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap…

Teens are not able to sleep early enough due to biology (melatonin release delay). Pushing back school start times ensures they can get the sleep they need to succeed in school! #Tweetiatrician #startschoollater #PedsSleep

Editorial: Despite consistently strong evidence that later school start times are associated w/better health & academic outcomes for adolescents, fewer than 18% of US schools start at or after 8:30 AM, putting the most vulnerable students at a disadvantage goo.gl/zwLwpz

How much sleep does a teen need? This study showed kids ages 15-17 required 9h+21min of sleep for optimal performance. This does not = 9.5h in bed. Instead it would take over 10h in bed to obtain that amount. academic.oup.com/sleep/advance-…

Of course we all know that many more groups than just the @AmerAcadPeds say school should start later - but isn't that enough? We aren't preparing kids for "the real world" if we're increasing their risk for diabetes, car crashes, depression, cardiovasc disease, substance abuse.

Today is the #SaveCHIP Day of Action! It's been over 100 days since Congress failed to pass long-term funding for CHIP. Pediatricians are telling Congress: inadequate, patchwork funding is not the answer. It's time to #ExtendCHIP for five years before another day goes by.
