Time’s Up! Start Dialysis Later in Children

Start Later, Sleep Later: School Start Times and Adolescent Sleep in Homeschool Versus Public/Private School Students.

Homeschooled students provide a naturalistic comparison group for later/flexible school start times. This study compared sleep patterns and sleep hygiene for homeschooled students and public/private school students (grades 6-12). Public/private school students (n = 245) and homeschooled students (n = 162) completed a survey about sleep patterns and sleep hygiene. Significant school group differ...

Start-up times in viscoelastic channel and pipe flows

Start-up times in viscoelastic channel and pipe flows generated by the sudden imposition of a pressure gradient are here determined by a mixed analytical/numerical procedure. The rheological models considered are the upper convected Maxwell and the Oldroyd-B equations. With these models the flow evolves asymptotically to the steady state solution after a transient regime presenting strong oscil...

Later school start times for supporting the education, health, and well-being of high school students.

BACKGROUND A number of school systems worldwide have proposed and implemented later school start times as a means of avoiding the potentially negative impacts that early morning schedules can have on adolescent students. Even mild sleep deprivation has been associated with significant health and educational concerns: increased risk for accidents and injuries, impaired learning, aggression, memo...
