For those who were unable to catch National Geographic's Sleepless in America, the film is now available for free in its entirety. http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/sleepless-in-america/videos/sleepless-in-america1/?source=searchvideo This is a powerful film that superbly explains the importance of sleep and the consequences of getting short sleep for an extended period of time. The effect of early school start times for adolescents segment begins around the 22 minute mark. After watching this seven minute segment you should have no doubt that starting school in the 7 o'clock hour negatively affects the health, safety, and academic performance of our teens. I would strongly urge you to watch this well-produced film. If we spend a third of our lives sleeping, it must be important! Thanks, Debbie Moore
