Teenagers experience biological shifts causing later sleep and wake times
Biological shifts during adolescence cause a natural delay in circadian timing, resulting in later sleep and wake times.
The retrieved literature consistently supports the claim that adolescence involves biological and pubertal shifts in circadian regulation, leading to delayed sleep and wake times. Papers [8], [9], and [10] explicitly discuss this adolescent phase delay and its neurobiological and pubertal drivers. Other papers investigate broader circadian mechanics or non-human models, but none refute the core claim.
