10am still seems a little early to me, but I suppose I could stick it for a few months if the rate is right and I can WFH four days a week

oldest daughter has just started high school

so now instead of trying to get them both out the door at 8.30

one is now disappearing at 8am

it has completely screwed our morning routine!

7am for middle one, 8am for oldest.

Mrs V starts at 7:30.

I commute to the desk at 08:57.

Can we start at 11am? And finish at 3pm?

Same day rate obviously...

[Halo Jones]

Start at 9!!

I am on site at 7am, but that’s construction for you

[vetran]

Makes you wonder how kids cope in septic high skools, where the day starts at 07:30.

I know how I'd cope.

Go Postal?

Making people start work before 9am is 'torture' says sleep expert, who wants the business and school day to begin at 10am
Forcing people to work nine-to-five leaves bodies exhausted and stressed
Affects attention and memory, and can lead to alcohol and drug abuse

AHA! Proof positive it's works fault I'm an alcoholic. Im sueing.

I'm sure you can get the good doctor to testify in your case, for a fee....

I think it is Iceland (the country not the Chav food store)who do not start until 10am

And they apparently have a great educational system and it has been proven to get results

[vetran]

Or you go to bed earlier.


(can I get a grant of a couple of million from the DF for that?)

nope we are paying for it:

Dr Kelley, an honorary clinical research fellow at Oxford University's Sleep and Circadian Neuroscience Institute, said there was a need for society to change work and school starting times to fit with the natural human body clock.
.....
Dr Kelley said that any schools who want to join a research study called Teensleep run by the Education Endowment Foundation.

Starting at 9am is "torture"... Forcing people to work nine-to-five leaves bodies exhausted and stressed... sounds like a soft academic who could do with a dose of reality.

Fair point, but what if you're not a morning person?

I get most of my best work done in the afternoon / early eve...

Older children should start school at 11am to prevent sleep deprivation
GCSE results could be boosted by '10 per cent' if start time was changed
