Adolescents across the United States, in general, do not get enough sleep. This is often the result of early school start times. When children reach adolescence, a biological change occurs, causing their circadian cycle to delay and resisting the build-up of homeostatic pressure. Consequently, adolescents have difficulties falling asleep earlier…
