Most schools in Mumbai begin as early as 7:30 am. This deprives the students of sleep that they need to stay healthy.

Experts say that kids require at least 9 to 12 hours of sleep, but barely get 6 hours of sleep due to early school. Children feel sleepy and tend to doze off during class and don't really learn anything.

Many schools say that they have kept afternoon schools for primary students, but according to psychologist who say, teenagers also need adequate sleep because they go through hormonal changes due to puberty.

"Sleep deprivation can affect a student's cognitive and academic performance," said, Dr. Samir Dalwai.

"Through school buses and admission policies we can ensure that students go to school close to their homes." said, Francis Joseph, Education Consultant.

Principals argued that they start school early to avoid traffic, while another said that they have too many students and need double shifts.
