Adolescent Sleep, Health, and School Start Times

The overarching goal of this first-of-its-kind conference is to provide a forum for all interested school stakeholders across the US to come together and discuss WHY healthy school start times are important to the health of adolescents and HOW school districts can successfully make the change.

The Conference will bring together a diverse set of stakeholders, including internationally recognized sleep experts, education policy makers, school superintendents, principals and teachers, health care professionals, community advocates, and transportation experts to:

1. Discuss the latest findings and recommendations on adolescent sleep and their implications for health, well-being, and performance.
2. Share best practices and provide clear, practical implementation guidelines for school districts across the country considering a change to healthy school start times.
