Love the idea of later schools starts. That would really help the highschoolers. Could the new leadership put a halt to the twice yearly time change? I think that would be helpful, too.
I am glad the article mentions the disruptive influence of technology. 5G all around us and how to reduce and shield from it deserves special consideration in this context, IMO.
LOVE THIS a part of my practice to wake up early every morning, drink water and do some yang exercise right away eat a healthy breakfast and stop eating by 6 PM get off the screens and takE IN the sky
Well, highschoolers could go to bed earlier than 11pm for one. That would be easier than shifting schedules around which will only make the day longer and they will go to bed even later. Where are their parents? Mine made me be IN bed by 10pm at the latest to get up at 6am. Somewhere around 9 my mother would start telling us to shower and put our clothes out. I'd be willing to bet that kids are staying up much later than the 11pm cited in the article and using computers and phones etc, until they don't sleep soon or well when they do go to bed. The time is there for sleep, why aren't kids and adults taking it? Maybe because they'd like to have a life after work or school?
Thank you. I was a teacher for 4 years and a registered dietitian for 33. 15 of which were in the hospital, with a high patient caseload and turnover rate.
I’ve seen a lot, and heard sleep appropriately labeled “vitamin S” by one of the best in the field of healthcare, Muneeza Ahmed. She’s a medical intuitive who completely resolved my longstanding back issues, including pain and range of motion (6 months after a car accident) in one week’s time, by following her accurate advice…which included getting enough sleep.
I truly hope the MAHA movement will be successful in making this and other positive changes for improved health, functionality and happiness. All your efforts are much appreciated. 💐💕💫
Sleep deprivation is one of the tools used by cults and similar organizations to break down resistance/individuality (ask anyone who has been in Marine Corps boot camp).
Highschool is the departure point from childhood to our wonderfully caring neoliberal flavored capitalist economy, a young adult's portal to the American dream- (And as George Carlin said "it's called the American dream because you gotta be asleep to believe it").
Sleep deprivation is definitely not in our best interests. It might be in the interests of an extractive industry in which teens were valued mainly as a feedstock.
Wonderful tips . I agree with all of them . The problem is: it is not realistic for people who work FT. Not possible to follow those guidelines . Getting up at 5:00 am . Walking the dogs, preparing healthy food to take to work. Starting work at 8:00 , finishing at 5:00 pm . If you want to exercise by 6:00 pm . Going to bed at 9:30 there is no time to eat the evening meal. You either eat at 6:00 or workout. There is also time needed for grocery shopping and healthy cooking at home . No chance to eat out and be healthy. Not even mentioning the cost of eating out.
Thank you for addressing the important subject of sleep. IMHO, one thing is missing, though and I´d love for RFK Jr to look into it.
You can only have a restful sleep when your nervous system is in sync. And whoever suffers from childhood trauma (attachment - and/or developmental trauma) or PTSD has a totally dysbalanced nervous system thus no restful sleep is possible and you do not wake up regenerated.
The avoidance of attachment - and developmental trauma play an important part in children´s health. There´s great work done by e.g. Gabor Maté (The myth of normal), Bessel van der Kolk (The body keeps the score), Stephen Porges (Polyvagal Theory) on the subject.
Thanks so much, I deeply appreciate it. It´s way more widespread than expected. You might also like to check out the study (from 1998!) by Vincent Felitti on ACEs ( the Adverse Childhood Experiences Study), that´s were it all started for Gabor Maté.
BTW, Gabor Maté worked in Vancouver´s Downtown Eastside as a physician for 12 years, treating addicts. And he found out WHY people became addicted (it´s not genes or a disease or lack of will power). He started to listen to their life stories and then came to what he calls his mantra: "Don´t ask why the addiction but WHY THE (emotional) PAIN." "Not all traumatized people become addicted but all addicts were traumatized." His book "In the realm of hungry ghosts" descirbes it all in detail.
Please do check into this as also Gabor Maté´s results are all based on mainstream science, his findings have, unfortunately, not yet become mainstream knowledge. Maybe this can change now, it´s what the pblic needs to know. A healthy society starts with a secure attachment to a mother who has all the support she needs in attending to her child´s needs, esp. for the early 3 years.
That is the basis of it all and if you then simultanously eliminate all the poisons/ toxins from the environment and educate people on healthy eating as RFK Jr has promised to do- well, then a truly healthy society is within reach. America could lead the way here - and hopefully other countries will follow.

Great subject to deep dive about . Another super interesting write up by Emilie . Great job
Thank you KingGap!

Yes indeed, daylight savings time NEEDS TO GO. It was supposed to be a WWII temporary expedient and is now as outdated as those WWII steel pennies!
We need to cut down on the "my great intentions start tomorrow" and start emphasizing starting *now*.
I'm not going to lie to myself or the readers

Another great read from Emilie! And I can relate to the topic.

So smash the system. It is your health/happiness or their quarterly profits (with you not being a shareholder?).
