Student Wellness

The goals of the CCSD Comprehensive Wellness Strategy are to address barriers to student achievement and to develop skills that support lifelong healthy living. Whole School Whole Community Whole Child

Mental Substance Bullying  Since 2000 health use SEL Perceived safety  Online Physical  Anonymous health and wellness  Self-Report  3 rd -12 th grades Sleep Encouraged to take challenging Connection classes to school Preparedness Have taken for learning challenging classes Adult at Parent(s) school Whole School Whole Community Whole Child

Science Behind Changing Start Times

Adolescents need 8.5 to 9.25 hours of sleep per night 7 out of 10 adolescents in the US get 7 hours or less per night 40 31% getting 8+ hours 30 of sleep PERCENT 20 10 0 <4 5 6 7 8 9 10+ HOURS OF SLEEP Carskadon et al. (1980, 2002), McKnight-Eily et al. (2011), NSF (2006, 2014), Owens et al. (2014)

So? Sleep doesn’t matter I sleep less than that and do just fine Sleep is for slackers

WRONG!! You have to breathe You have to eat You have to sleep! Sleep is not a passive state and is essential for health, daytime functioning, and well-being

Stages of Sleep Memory consolidation, learning Growth hormone released, brain recovery, executive functioning 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Hours of Sleep

Process S – Sleep Homeostasis 7a 10p 7a Borbely (1982); Van Dongen et al. (2003)

Well if my teen just turned off his phone and went to bed earlier, then he wouldn’t have any problems waking up

Process C - Circadian Rhythm 7a 10p 7a Borbely (1982); Carskadon et al. (1980, 2002)

Circadian Misalignment 7a 10p 7a Borbely (1982); Carskadon et al. (1980, 2002)

Faces of Deficient Sleep

Deficient Sleep in Children/Adolescents  Mood and affect changes  Behavior problems  Non-compliance  Aggression  Hyperactivity  Poor impulse control  Risk taking behaviors and increased accidents Beebe (2011); Gruber et al. (2012); Owens et al. (2014)

Deficient Sleep in Children/Adolescents  Neurocognitive deficits  Attention  Memory  Executive functioning  Weight gain  Increased caloric intake  Increased consumption fats and carbs Beebe et al. (2010); Beebe et al. (2013); Gruber, Wiebe et al. (2012); Gruber, Michaelsen et al. (2012); Hart et al. (2013); Sadeh et al. (2003)

Signs of Deficient Sleep • Needs to be awakened in morning • Sleeps 2+ hours on weekends or vacations than weekdays • Falls asleep in school or other inappropriate times • Behavior/mood differ following nights of increased sleep

Extrinsic Sleep Disruptors

Later School Start Time Outcomes  Multiple studies have demonstrated the benefit of changing to a later school start time …  Students getting > 8 hours sleep/night  Better academic outcomes  Less depression  Better attendance rates  Less caffeine use  Higher graduation rates  Fewer car crashes  Reduced tardiness Boergers et al. (2014); Danner & Phillips (2008); McKeever et al. (2017); Owens et al. (2010); Wahlstrom (2002); Wahlstrom et al. (2014); Wolfson et al. (2007)

Fayette County, KY  Started school 1 hour later  16.5% decrease in number  7:30am to 8:30 am of motor vehicle crashes  8:00am to 9:00am  Increased total sleep time  8+ hours: 36% to 50%  No changes in # hours spent on homework, jobs, sports/activities Danner & Phillips (2008)

Won’t Students Just Stay Up Later?  Students do not stay up later, but wake 30-90 min later 0:45 0:45 S1 Pre S1 Post S2 Pre S2 Post 0:15 0:15 23:45 23:45 23:19 23:18 23:15 23:15 23:05 22:45 22:41 22:45 22:15 7:30 7:30 8:40 8:40 22:15 start start start start 1997-98 2000-01 2000-01 1997-98 21:45 21:45 9th 10th 11th 12th Boergers et al.

And What About Sports?  Wilton, CT had increased participation and winning season following change  Stanford athletes increased time in bed to 10 hours/night  Basketball – Faster sprint (0.7 seconds), more accurate free throws (9%), improved mood, decreased fatigues  Football – 20 yard and 40 yard dash improved by .10 seconds  Swimming – faster 15m sprints (0.51 seconds), faster reaction time off blocks (0.15 seconds), faster turns (0.10 seconds) Michael Phelps won a gold medal by 0.01 seconds Mah et al. (2008); Mah et al. (2010)

Recommendation to start middle/high schools no earlier than 8:30 a.m.  American Academy of Pediatrics  Centers for Disease Control and Prevention  American Medical Association  American Academy of Sleep Medicine  American Academy of Child and Adolescents Psychiatrists  American Psychological Association  American Thoracic Society  National Sleep Foundation  National Educational Association  National Parent Teacher Association  National Association of School Nurses

Take Home Message  Sleep essential for learning and health  Adolescents significantly sleep deprived, with school start times as one of the strongest contributing factors  Changing start times is not coddling students, but setting them up for success in life

“If sleep doesn't serve an absolutely vital function, then it is the greatest mistake the evolutionary process ever made” Dr. Allan Rechtschaffen
