Teen sleep: State to study health issues and school start times (Maryland)

Jasmine Pettis 4/7/1412:00 PM

Maryland lawmakers approved legislation Friday that would require state health officials to conduct a study on the sleep needs of students and the experiences of school systems that have shifted the hours of their school days.

The bill requires that the study also include recommendations about whether public schools in the state should adopt a policy of start times at 8 a.m. or later. It comes at a time when such ideas are under consideration in Montgomery, Anne Arundel and Howard counties.
