Source: Yahoo News - HealthThe American Medical Association on Tuesday urged starting school later in the morning for teenagers so they can get enough sleep. In a new policy adopted on Tuesday, the AMA said middle and high schools should start at 8:30 a.m. at the earliest because research has shown that puberty is accompanied by a biological shift in circadian rhythm that contributes to later bedtimes and wake-up times in adolescents.
