—>> But the pediatric group says the problem of way-too-sleepy teens is “easily fixable” and needs to be solved. It notes that only 15 percent of American middle and high schools start after 8:30 a.m.

Can’t they go to bed much earlier. Say... by getting off of their iPhones and computers. Where’s mom and dad. With rules. I had to be in bed early on school nights from mom and dad both saying so.

“Can’t they go to bed much earlier.”

Some teenage boys have what amounts to a sleep disorder. They *can*not* go to sleep early, and, no matter what time they go to bed, waking up early is agony. (And no, that’s not hyperbole. I’d rather get into the ring with Mike Tyson than go through that again.)
