TL;DR
A significantly increased teen crash rate for both 2008 and 2007 occurred in VB, the city with earlier high school start times, and future studies using individual level data may clarify if sleep restriction, circadian dyssynchrony, and sleep inertia might contribute to this increased crash rate.

Most of the adolescents surveyed do not get enough sleep, and their sleep loss interferes with daytime functioning.

Early start time was associated with significant sleep deprivation and daytime sleepiness, and the occurrence of REM sleep on MSLT indicates that clinicians should exercise caution in interpreting MSLT REM sleep in adolescents evaluated on their "usual" schedules.

Those whose Berlin questionnaire scores indicated a high risk for OSA were more likely to report subjective sleep problems, a negative impact of sleep on quality of life, and a chronic medical condition than those who were at lower risk.

A modest delay in school start time was associated with significant improvements in measures of adolescent alertness, mood, and health, which support the potential benefits of adjusting school schedules to adolescents' sleep needs, circadian rhythm, and developmental stage.

Overall, sleep-wake patterns were found to relate to risk-taking behavior during adolescence in this study, with no significant relationships being found between weekend oversleep and daytime functioning.

The results of this study demonstrated that current high school start times contribute to sleep deprivation among adolescents and both short-term and long-term strategies that address the epidemic of sleep deprivation will be necessary to improve health and maximize school performance.

New evidence is provided to strengthen the argument that short sleep duration could play a role in the etiology of depression and earlier parental set bedtimes could therefore be protective against adolescent depression and suicidal ideation by lengthening sleep duration.

Although many factors influence bed time, school start time is the strongest determinant of wake time on school days and increased computer use and earlier school days may be contributing to insufficient sleep in adolescents.
