MODERATORS
Teens naturally go to bed later, and also need a lot more than 8 hours.
What time you force yourself to go to bed versus what time your body naturally falls asleep are two different things in current society.
Circadian rhythms exist and fluctuate.
The point is that we now know this to be true. Rather than try to shoehorn our biological needs in whatever spare pockets of time we can scrounge, we should focus on better adapting our society and it's systems to our needs at all stages of life.
Your bootstraps mentality is counterproductive.
This is unequivocally false. That's literally a part of the circadian cycle. We can more easily fall asleep at particular spans of our 24 hour cycle. These spans shift depending on our age.
Specifically concerning sleep patterns in adolescents and teenagers, see here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19546564/
I can't believe Sorgan71 was sitting on the cure to insomnia this whole time! When we go to bed is 100% up to us, of course! :3
