""Most school regimes force teenagers to function at a time of day that is suboptimal and many university students are exposed to considerable dangers from sleep deprivation.""

- "Making teens start school in the morning is 'cruel', brain doctor claimsTeenage pupils should start school in the afternoon because making them turn up in the morning is "cruel", a top brain doctor has claimed. Professor Russell Foster said teens would acheive more if they were allowed to have a lie-in and not start their classes until the afternoon. The Oxford University neuroscientist said grumpy teenagers like Harry Enfield's comic creation Kevin follow different sleep patterns from adults - making them more alert in the afternoon than in the morning. And he said German and American schools which switched to later start times had experienced improved success in exams and reduced rates of truancy and depression. Prof Foster said that forcing teenagers to turn up to school in the morning could result in more errors, poor memory, reduced motivation and depression. Allowing secondary school pupils a lie-in on the other hand would improve performance in key subjects like English and maths. "It is cruel to impose a cultural pattern on teenagers that makes them underachieve," he told a conference at the University of Wales in Cardiff."
