Did you know that more than 25 percent fall asleep in class each week. Researchers say the reason is that teenagers' sleep hormones don't kick in until 11:00 P.M., and don't peak until 7 A.M. Because of this, schools in Somerset County are planning to start high school an hour earlier; however, this would require students in elementary and middle school to start an hour earlier. Bedminster School should start an hour earlier so that the high school students can sleep later.
