I think the sleep studies are culturally biased. My relatives who farm laugh at them, that’s for sure; if you are doing real work, you don’t get into the crazy sleep cycles. Canadian school teachers and high school students I know think the way American teenagers structure their homework and sleep is ludicrous. I can think of other examples.

Haven’t been a parent so can be compassionate but not that helpful. When I was a boarding school dorm master, however, there were lights out and they were real. The network was off. Once the darkness and quiet were enforced, after even a short time, kids could feel that they were exhausted and they slept. Electronics have changed lives to the point that we now think it is something normal.
