1HOUSE RESOLUTION

2 WHEREAS, Decades of peer-reviewed research in sleep and 

3circadian biology led by Dr. Mary Carskadon, PhD, of Brown 

4University and the National Institutes of Health has 

5demonstrated that the biological sleep-wake rhythms of 

6adolescents naturally shift later beginning at puberty, making 

7early-morning school schedules incompatible with healthy 

8sleep; and

9 WHEREAS, This biological shift is not a matter of 

10preference, motivation, or discipline but reflects changes in 

11melatonin release and circadian timing that make it 

12physiologically difficult for adolescents to fall asleep early 

13enough to obtain adequate rest when schools begin early in the 

14morning; and

15 WHEREAS, The American Academy of Pediatrics, the Centers 

16for Disease Control and Prevention, and the National 

17Institutes of Health all recognize insufficient sleep in 

18adolescents as a significant public health issue linked to 

19increased risk of depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, 

20substance use, obesity, sports injuries, and motor vehicle 

21crashes; and

22 WHEREAS, The American Academy of Pediatrics has formally 

HR0660- 2 -LRB104 20790 MST 34300 r

1recommended that middle and high schools begin no earlier than 

28:30 a.m. in order to align school schedules with adolescent 

3biology; and

4 WHEREAS, Longitudinal research led by Dr. Kyla Wahlstrom, 

5PhD, at the University of Minnesota has followed more than 

69,000 students across multiple states and has found that later 

7school start times are associated with increased sleep 

8duration, improved attendance, higher academic performance, 

9reduced depression symptoms, lower rates of substance use, and
