Adolescent Changes in the Homeostatic and Circadian Regulation of Sleep

Abstract: Sleep deprivation among adolescents is epidemic. We argue that this sleep deprivation is due in part to pubertal changes in the homeostatic and circadian regulation of sleep. These changes promote a delayed sleep phase that is exacerbated by evening light exposure and incompatible with aspects of modern society, notably early school start times. In this review of human and animal literature, we demonstrate that delayed sleep phase during puberty is likely a common phenomenon in mammals, not specific to human a… Show more

“…Variable sleep timing, particularly the marked differences in weekday and weekend sleep, is presumed to result in part from a mismatch between teens' predisposition toward later sleep timing and the earlier schedules imposed by secondary education (Hasler & Clark, 2013;Wittmann et al, 2006). This predisposition is not driven purely by social concerns but has a biological basis in later timing of circadian rhythms and apparent developmental differences in the homeostatic regulation of sleep (Hagenauer et al, 2009). This explanation remains speculative, as the current study did not include measures of circadian rhythms (e.g., melatonin) or homeostatic pressure (e.g., electroencephalography) that would allow us to test this.…”

“…In women, the peak of maximum eveningness appears earlier (Randler, 2011;Tonetti et al, 2008). This phenomenon may be interpreted as associated with pubertal development (Hagenauer et al, 2009), but it is also clearly influenced by social and family factors, such as the school year or parental control on the subject's schedule (Gau & Soon, 2003;Randler et al, 2009). It is precisely at these ages that the development of an extreme ET should be controlled, since otherwise it could favour an individual functioning with fewer healthy habits and it could also interfere in the adaptation to the socio-environmental demands of the activity (Besoluk et al, 2011;Taylor et al, 2011).…”

“…Students typically arrive sleepy for morning classes. The physiological inertia of sleep states that lingers during waking and the major changes in sleep regulation during adolescence 23 may explain why so many teenagers are ill prepared for learning early in the morning 24 .…”
