Abstract
Sleep has a significant impact on the physical and mental health of adolescents. However, most adolescents face sleep deprivation and a range of adverse consequences. The policy of delaying the start of school has gained the attention of many researchers in the last two decades in response to the problem of improving sleep quality and increasing the total number of hours of sleep among adolescents. This paper assesses the influences of delayed school start times on adolescent sleep and related outcomes, identifies the limitations and shortcomings of this policy implementation, and the available research data, provides a comprehensive analysis of the impacts of delayed school start times, and offers suggestions for the future direction and prospects of this policy implementation.
