School start times should be put back to as late as 11am to combat a sleep-deprivation crisis among young people, a scientist has suggested.

一位科学家指出，学校应当把上课时间推迟到上午11点，以应对年轻人所面临的睡眠不足危机。

 

 

Paul Kelley, of the Sleep and Circadian Neuroscience Institute at the University of Oxford, said young people in Britain were losing on average 10 hours’ sleep a week, making them more sleep-deprived than a junior doctor on a 24-hour shift.

来自牛津大学(University of Oxford)睡眠和昼夜节律神经科学研究所(Sleep and Circadian Neuroscience Institute )的保罗·凯利(Paul Kelley)表示，英国的年轻人平均每周损失10小时睡眠时间，这使他们比一个24小时轮班工作的实习医生更缺乏睡眠。

Speaking at the British Science Festival in Bradford on Tuesday, Prof Kelley called for an end to early starts at schools, colleges and university to “improve the lives of a generation.

凯利教授在8日在布拉德福德(Bradford)举办的英国科学节(British Science Festival)上讲话时呼吁，学校、学院和大学取消清早上课的规定，以“改善这一代人的生活。

He said children aged eight to 10 should start school at 8.30am or later, 16-year-olds should start at 10am and 18-year-olds at 11am.
