Recent research has shown that students sleep more during school hours and feel less sleepy if classes start later in high school. However, the findings on how this affects academic performance are mixed.
Duke-NUS Associate Professor Joshua Guley and colleagues used students’ Wi-Fi connection data, college digital learning platform login information, and activity data from touch watches to examine the impact of early learning on college students’ health.
It turned out that early start of classes was associated with lower attendance. In addition, students lost about an hour of sleep while attending morning classes. And students started their morning classes frequently, mostly because of a lower average score.
