美医生建议推迟上学时间
 
CONTENT:
American teenagers, rejoice! The American Academy of Pediatrics wants all US schools attended by children aged 10 to 18 to delay their opening times to 8.30 am or later. Currently, only 15 per cent start after this time.
The aim is to tackle widespread sleep deprivation by helping teenagers manage the shift in their body clocks that coincides with puberty. This turns them into "night owls" who favour going to bed and rising 2 hours later than when they were younger. Research has shown that this results in more car accidents, increased late arrivals at school as well as lower grades, and higher risks of depression, moodiness and obesity.
A poll published in 2006 by the US National Sleep Foundation found that 59 per cent of middle school students and 87 per cent of high school students were failing to get the recommended 8.5 to 9.5 hours sleep on school nights.

参考译文1:

这对于美国的中学生来说真是一件可喜可贺的事情。美国儿科学会呼吁全美10至18岁青少年就读的学校推迟上学时间至8:30或者更晚。目前,仅有15%的学校是晚于这个时间上学的。
此举通过帮助青少年调整青春期生物钟的转变以解决普遍存在的睡眠不足问题。青春期导致他们变成“夜猫子”——相对于他们更年幼的时候偏好于晚睡晚起两小时。研究表明这样的状态更容易导致车祸,上学迟到影响成绩,以及情绪低落,抑郁肥胖等问题。
2006年由美国国家睡眠基金会发起的一项民意调查显示59%的初中生和87%的高中生在上学日不能保证每天8.5至9.5个小时的睡眠时间。
