  • A brain doctor claims that making teens start school in the morning is 'cruel.' So declared a British newspaper headline in 2007 and one disbelieving reader responded: "This man sounds brain-dead." Six years on there is growing acceptance that the structure of the academic day needs to take account of adolescent sleep patterns. The latest school to adopt a later start time is the University College London Academy in UK; others are considering following suit. Here, Foster discusses the facts about teenage slumber, and how society should adjust to these needs.
