Sleep deprivation among adolescents is a growing issue that threatens the health and academic success of students in the country. California Senate Bill 328 (SB328) is the first U.S. statewide legislation to delay school start times (SSTs), which can affect not only students but parents and teachers. Understanding how society perceives delayed SSTs is crucial for understanding how delayed SSTs impact the affected community and for ameliorating policies that delay SSTs. This study uses Twitter to investigate the perceptions of SB328 over time to see how the bill’s implication affected society’s views on SB328. This study finds that the perception of SB328 improved over time, but were overall negative.
