The Myth of Human "Intelligence"
Teachers and School Superintendents are certainly aware that high school age children tend to want to
sleep late and that their brains do not wake up as early as the younger students. Then why in many
communities are the high school students going to school at earlier times than the students in the earlier
grades in the US?
Human intelligence is a myth.

A survey of sleep-deprived teens finds they think that a later start time
for school and tests given later in the school day would result in better
grades. The survey was presented at the American Thoracic Society
2007 International Conference, on Sunday, May 20.
The survey of 280 high school students confirmed what most parents
with a teenager know that they are not getting enough sleep. More
sleep would translate into improved academic performance, according
to the teens questioned. They all attended Harriton High School in
suburban Philadelphia, where the school day begins at 7:30 a.m. and
ends at 2:25 p.m.
The survey found that:
* 78% of students said it was difficult to get up in the morning
* Only 16% said they regularly had enough sleep
* 70% thought their grades would improve if they had more sleep
* 90% thought their academic performance would improve if school
were to start later
