研究目的：评估延迟的高中开学时间对睡眠和机动车碰撞的影响。方法采用问卷调查的方法，对一个单一的、大的、县范围内的学区内的青少年在开学时间延迟1小时前后的睡眠习惯和机动车碰撞率进行评估。结果：夜间平均睡眠时间增加，周末补眠时间减少。在学校开学时间改变后的两年内，研究县青少年司机的平均撞车率比改变前的两年内下降了16.5%，而该州其他地区的青少年撞车率在同一时期增加了7.8%。结论：推迟上学时间既可以增加青少年的睡眠，又可以降低他们发生机动车碰撞的风险。
STUDY OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of delayed high-school start times on sleep and motor vehicle crashes. METHODS The sleep habits and motor vehicle crash rates of adolescents from a single, large, county-wide, school district were assessed by questionnaire before and after a 1-hour delay in school start times. RESULTS Average hours of nightly sleep increased and catch-up sleep on weekends decreased. Average crash rates for teen drivers in the study county in the 2 years after the change in school start time dropped 16.5%, compared with the 2 years prior to the change, whereas teen crash rates for the rest of the state increased 7.8% over the same time period. CONCLUSIONS Later school start times may both increase the sleep of adolescents and decrease their risk of motor vehicle crashes.
