About this event

The Ivy presents an evening with Amy R. Wolfson and Terra Ziporyn, co-authors of Educating the Exhausted: Adolescent Sleep and the Struggle for a Later School Start, a newly released account of the battle to align the school day with the science of sleep. For decades, sleep researchers have reached the same conclusion: adolescents need more sleep than current school schedules allow. Yet across the United States, most middle and high schools continue to start the day at hours that undermine student health, safety, and learning. In Educating the Exhausted, Terra Ziporyn and Amy R. Wolfson explain how research enters public decision-making—and what it takes for science to influence policy. We hope you'll join us for this fascinating conversation at the intersection of education, parenting, science, and politics.
