Sleep is associated with better academic performance in college

Research article published in Nature.  This is for college students. One can assume  that sleep is even more important for Primary School students who require more sleep.

Sleep quality, duration, and consistency are associated with better academic performance in college students

"Sleep measures accounted for nearly 25% of the variance in academic performance. These findings provide quantitative, objective evidence that better quality, longer duration, and greater consistency of sleep are strongly associated with better academic performance in college."

Even if we consider academic performance as the only measure of success for our education institutions, one can argue that a 30 minutes spent for our children to sleep is a better choice, than a 30 minutes earlier start in school.
