📖 題組：
Teenagers are often criticized for staying up late and sleeping in, but science shows there’s a biological reason behind this pattern. During adolescence, the brain’s internal clock shifts. Teens naturally begin to feel sleepy later at night—sometimes not until 11 p.m. or even midnight. At the same time, they still need around eight to ten hours of sleep for healthy development. This shift in sleep cycle, known as “delayed sleep phase,” often clashes with early school schedules. Many schools start before 8 a.m., which means students are frequently forced to function while still sleep deprived. Studies have linked sleep deprivation in teens to poorer academic performance, increased irritability, and even higher rates of depression and anxiety. Some schools have experimented with later start times and seen promising results. Students reported feeling more alert, and teachers noticed improvements in both behavior and focus. Despite this, changes are slow to implement, largely due to concerns about transportation, extracurricular schedules, and resistance from some parents and school officials. Understanding teen sleep patterns isn’t about making excuses. It’s about recognizing a real biological need. Ignoring it not only affects learning but can also harm emotional well-being. By aligning school policies with scientific findings, we may improve both education and mental health outcomes for young people.
