The fact that error rates, absenteeism and the risk of accidents are massively influenced by a lack of sleep has already been recognized in one place or another, even if the pain threshold is usually not yet high enough to take decisive action. And there are key people in both places who have an influence on school and work schedules and therefore bear an unspoken responsibility for the consequences of their decisions.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As long as one is not aware of this, a lack of activity is understandable, but as soon as the knowledge is present, everything that does NOT happen as a result is intentional!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s a reason why I&#8217;m starting off so provocatively and I hope you&#8217;ll forgive me here.

The media only show excerpts and not the full extent. What is often interpreted as a parenting problem, a consequence of stress or a question of character has a silent, biological driver:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Chronic lack of sleep<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More precisely:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>systemically induced chronic sleep deprivation<\/strong>, which begins in schools and is cemented in professional life. Because where there is a lack of sleep, there is a lack of self-regulation. Where there is a lack of self-regulation, the likelihood of violence, misbehavior and mental instability increases &#8211; both individually and collectively. Parents who have raised children know what I am talking about when I address this topic, especially in times when children have dictated their own sleep.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, lack of sleep is often seen as an individual problem &#8211; as a sign of poor organization, lack of discipline or simply &#8220;part of modern life&#8221;. This accusation often comes from people who are not even aware that they themselves have a massive part to play in these people&#8217;s situation. Head teachers<em>and employers<\/em>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know that I will now have a bad standing with these groups of people, but that doesn&#8217;t change the fact that this is the case. Because, what is rarely discussed, <strong>school and work schedules can kill<\/strong>. Chronic sleep deprivation is not only a health risk, but also a social explosive, because those who sleep too little are not only less productive, but also more emotionally unstable, more irritable and much more prone to violence. The fact that &#8220;Then go to bed earlier!&#8221; is often not possible in terms of sleep medicine is either not known or is ignored.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sheep poverty is therefore by no means a purely private issue, but has predominantly systemic causes. It starts in the &#8220;school&#8221; system and continues in the &#8220;working life&#8221; system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at the route below.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading13242_919212-e0, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading13242_919212-e0[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading13242_919212-e0\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading13242_919212-e0 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading13242_919212-e0[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading13242_919212-e0\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading13242_919212-e0 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading13242_919212-e0[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading13242_919212-e0\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading13242_919212-e0 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading13242_919212-e0\">Part 1: Starting school early against biology<\/h2>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading13242_4f967c-c2, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading13242_4f967c-c2[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading13242_4f967c-c2\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading13242_4f967c-c2 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading13242_4f967c-c2[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading13242_4f967c-c2\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading13242_4f967c-c2 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading13242_4f967c-c2[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading13242_4f967c-c2\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading13242_4f967c-c2 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading13242_4f967c-c2\">Chronobiology: Why young people can&#8217;t get up early<\/h3>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id13242_379d09-84 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id13242_379d09-84 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id13242_379d09-84 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:repeat(2, minmax(0, 1fr));}.kb-row-layout-id13242_379d09-84 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id13242_379d09-84 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:repeat(2, minmax(0, 1fr));}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id13242_379d09-84 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id13242_379d09-84 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-2-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column13242_e1e216-23 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column13242_e1e216-23 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column13242_e1e216-23 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column13242_e1e216-23 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column13242_e1e216-23 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column13242_e1e216-23 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column13242_e1e216-23{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column13242_e1e216-23 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column13242_e1e216-23 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column13242_e1e216-23\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<p><strong>During puberty, adolescents undergo a biologically determined shift in their chronotype backwards<\/strong>, so they become later, their natural sleep rhythm is roughly between 11 pm and 8 am.

According to studies, many adolescents permanently get at least 1-2 hours too little sleep per night. This adds up to a deficit of at least 10 hours per week, <strong>and this in a developmental phase in which the brain, self-image and social behavior are forming<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, most schools in Germany still start between 7:30 and 8:00 am. The joke: some schools that currently still start school at 8.00 a.m. are even tending to start school earlier, <strong>knowing about the impact on pupils.<\/strong> Reason: equalization of public transport. For many young people, especially in the summertime and in rural areas with a long journey to school, this means forcing them to get up <strong>in the middle of their biological sleep<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But why can&#8217;t pupils just go to bed earlier? Our biological make-up and, above all, our genes don&#8217;t play along. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Briefly summarized: The release of our sleep hormone melatonin is not primarily stimulated exogenously (from outside, e.g. light) or even by simple &#8220;desire&#8221;, but by a genetically based impulse from the SCN (suprachiasmatic nucleus). In relation to this primary impulse, exogenous impulses either have a stimulating effect (darkness, frequencies) or an inhibiting effect (e.g. bright blue light, loudness). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting used to it&#8221; does not mean that the negative effects will disappear, at best it will be delayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The resulting chronic lack of sleep has been shown to lead to a lack of sleep in

The lack of sleep also increases the potential for conflict, which in turn has a negative impact on productivity, team culture and customer communication. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is particularly noticeable in the healthcare sector, where a lack of sleep has a direct impact not only on the health of employees, but also on patients. Violence against patients is a taboo subject and there are hardly any figures on this.

PERIOD   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone who ignores this and defends the early start to school is not only underestimating science, but is also playing with an insidiously ticking powder keg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a lack of sleep is combined with systemic ignorance, the result is a highly explosive social mixture. We are sawing away at social stability, slowly but surely. It is time to use the levers at our disposal. Schools, companies and decision-makers have a responsibility.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the best thing is: the solutions don&#8217;t cost a lot of money, just the courage to face up to your own responsibility&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading13242_8614c4-e8, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading13242_8614c4-e8[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading13242_8614c4-e8\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading13242_8614c4-e8 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading13242_8614c4-e8[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading13242_8614c4-e8\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading13242_8614c4-e8 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading13242_8614c4-e8[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading13242_8614c4-e8\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading13242_8614c4-e8 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading13242_8614c4-e8\">Quellen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ember2913\">Wheaton AG et al (2016): <em>School Start Times for Middle School and High School Students &#8211; United States, 2011-12 School Year<\/em><strong>.Result:<\/strong> Starting school later significantly reduces behavior problems and aggression.Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/mmwr\/volumes\/64\/wr\/mm6430a1.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2016<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ember2914\">Medic G, Wille M, Hemels ME.
