We are upgrading the repository! We will continue our upgrade in February 2025 - we have taken a break from the upgrade to open some collections for end-of-semester submission. The MS-GIST Master's Reports, SBE Senior Capstones, and UA Faculty Publications collections are currently open for submission. Please reach out to repository@u.library.arizona.edu with your questions, or if you are a UA affiliate who needs to make content available in another collection.

| dc.description.abstract | The majority of adolescents in the United States do not obtain the recommended amount of sleep each night. While the reasons for this are multi-factorial, early school start times effect the amount of sleep an adolescent is able to achieve each night. Biological rhythms influence adolescents to stay up later and wake up later in the morning. School districts across the country are taking notice of adolescent sleep research and delaying their start times to better match adolescents' biological rhythms. However, the majority of the schools in the United States continue to start earlier than the recommended 8:30am start time, including the school district targeted in this project. The purpose of this project was to collect data from administrators whose schools had undergone a delay in school start time on the barriers and facilitating factors they found during the implementation. This information was then shared with the local school district. | |
