Day-night cycle – Why teenagers are always tired
When children become teenagers, hormonal changes shift their circadian rhythm – they get tired later. Because schools usually don't adapt to their new natural sleep cycle, they often sleep less on weekdays, affecting their memory, emotional well-being, and health. If we want teens to learn and thrive, schools could do what sounds so simple: adapt their starting times to the biological rhythms of their students.
