Impact of School Start Time Delays and Learning Modality on Sleep Timing and Duration During COVID-19

CONCLUSIONS: Delayed school start time was associated with positive changes in adolescent sleep health during the COVID-19 pandemic. Sleep timing was affected by the learning modality, however in-person and virtual students had similar gains in sleep duration. Learning modality may be more beneficial for adolescents with early school start times to promote healthier sleep habits.PMID:37262020 | DOI:10.1080/15402002.2023.2217974
