Abstract	Research on the sleep needs of adolescents and the influence of sleep on learning and behavior have captured the interest of school districts nationwide and in other countries as well. As a result, school officials are being urged to acknowledge the evidence and to adjust school schedules accordingly (e.g., to delay high school start times). The authors surveyed high school personnel on high school start times, factors influencing school start times, and decision making around school schedules. Surveys were analyzed from secondary schools selected at random from the National Center for Educational Statistics database. The final data set includes 345 surveys from "regular" public schools serving grades 9-12 for which data at least back to the 1986-87 school year were available. The result of the surveys and some recommended creative solutions that will allow for sleep and quality education and co-curricular activity time for high-school students are presented in this article.
