Abstract	Across the world sleep profile of human population has changed due to modern life style. With the adaption of this life style, the sleep wake patterns of adolescents have also changed. The sleep durations of these group has reduced due to delayed bed timing and early school timing leading to chronic sleep deprivation which is accumulating as sleep debt. Higher sleep debt has been implicated for various health problems and reduction in academic performance. In earlier work, delaying of school timing by one or two hours has been proposed to reduce the sleep loss and improve the sleep quality of adolescent students. Therefore, this study was planned to evaluate the impact of delaying the school start timings by one hour on the sleep behavior of adolescent students by taking 3 different school start timings.
Keywords	Adolescent, early school timing, sleep debt, mental health improvement.
