Wake-up
call
Copley News Service, Feb. 3 –
Many teens struggle to stay awake during their early morning
classes and also could struggle later to remember what they’ve
learned since they came through the door at 7:15. “What’s
happening in the teen is a delay in circadian rhythms,”
says Sonia Ancoli-Isreal, professor in the
Psychiatry Department at UCSD. “What
that means is that most adults get sleepy at 10 or 11, sleep
eight hours and get up at 6 0r 7. That’s the so-called
acceptable or normal pattern. What happens during the adolescent
years is that rhythm delays, until 1 or 2 in the morning. If
teenagers went to bed at that hour, they’d have no problem
falling asleep and staying asleep till noon or 1.”
