community groups have sporadically arisen in various school communities since the 1990s, sometimes prompting studies and reform proposals but often dying out as concerned, active families grew out of the system. probably the most visible and longest lasting of the grassroots advocacy groups is sleep in fairfax county, virginia, which was formed in 2004 to increase awareness of teen sleep needs and to change middle and high school start times in the fairfax county public schools (fcps) to later in the morning. more recently, social media tools have allowed once isolated advocates to unite efforts and share resources. in fall 2011, an online petition effort galvanized a national non-profit organization, start school later, a coalition of health professionals, sleep scientists, educators, parents, students, and other concerned citizens dedicated to increasing public awareness about the relationship between sleep and school hours and to ensuring school start times compatible with health, safety, education, and equity. active petition drives in 2012 and 2013 among the coalition's washington dc metro area chapters have spurred several counties to re-open their discussions and helped spearhead a study group to reconsider the issue in the montgomery county public schools. start school later also maintains a website with links to references and other educational materials on sleep and school start times, and in 2013 partnered with the lloyd society to co-sponsor an educational symposium featuring keynote speaker judith owens, md, mph, director of sleep medicine at the children's national medical center, whose research interests include the neurobehavioral and health consequences of sleep problems in children, pharmacologic treatment of pediatric sleep disorders, and cultural and psychosocial issues that impact sleep. many advocates also support campaigns using materials from california attorney dennis nolan's website, an exhaustive and frequently updated compilation of research about adolescent sleep deprivation and its relationship to early school start times. in spring 2013 the mayo clinic updated its online information about teen sleep to recognize grassroots efforts to start school at later times in sync with the internal clocks of adolescents.
