Besides, we're like totally talking about starting school at 8-9 AM, which is, like, EXACTLY the core starting time for "real jobs." Ya know, like the song says, "workin' 9-5, what a way to make a livin'!"
Oh, no—did I just slip into FLL for a moment there?!

Were these “peer reviewed” studies? Our grandparents got up at 5 because they had jobs and worked their butts off. Teenagers sleep until noon because they’re lazy and still have their umbilical cords plugged into their parents (who are mostly at fault because they enable this behavior). There must be some kind of “bias” label (excuse) for this problem, just like there’s a bias label (excuse) for everything else.
