Summary
California’s later school start times are paying off—with teens sleeping more, feeling happier, and scoring better in class. Since SB 328 took effect in 2022, 13% more students now hit the 8-hour sleep goal, boys seeing the biggest gains. Hispanic students report less trouble concentrating, and eighth graders show measurable academic improvements in math and English. While some parents grumble about commutes and schedules, the overall impact is clear: rest fuels learning—and this policy is a smart, proactive step toward student well-being.
