Sleep-in to stay well: addressing school start times for the health and wellbeing of teens in Aotearoa.

The under-acknowledged malleability of secondary school start times may be a lever towards addressing poor sleep, particularly the sleep deprivation that many adolescents living in Aotearoa New Zealand experience on a daily basis. Scrutinising morning school start times has not been prioritised in terms of a logical, modifiable way to counteract sleep deprivation in adolescents in Aotearoa. Importantly, later start times align with adolescents' natural sleep-wake biology that shifts at puberty to favour later bedtimes, meaning they naturally need to wake later in the morning.

In school and out of school digital use and the development of children's self-regulation and social skills.

More needs to be known about the benefits and risks to the development of interpersonal and intrapersonal skills in ubiquitous digital environments at school and at home. Nine to 12-year-old students (n = 186) in a 1:1 digital programme serving low SES and culturally diverse communities rated their self-regulation and social skills for both non-digital and digital contexts. Downward trends in self-regulation and related personality dimensions were found.
