Making people start work before 9am is 'torture' says sleep expert, who wants the business and school day to begin at 10am
Forcing people to work nine-to-five leaves bodies exhausted and stressed
Affects attention and memory, and can lead to alcohol and drug abuse
Older children should start school at 11am to prevent sleep deprivation
GCSE results could be boosted by '10 per cent' if start time was changed

I think it is Iceland (the country not the Chav food store)who do not start until 10am

And they apparently have a great educational system and it has been proven to get results

I know how I'd cope.
