Buttenheim and a team of researchers wrote "Applying behavioral insights to delay school start times" published in Sleep Health. They suggest 4 strategies to influence decision-making processes and demonstrate how they can be applied to efforts aimed at changing school start time policies. Read the Atlantic article here.
