According to researchers,this is because of a hormone called melatonin (褪黑激素) that is secreted (分泌) by the pineal gland—a tiny structure deep inside the brain.Melatonin regulates the body’s natural daynight rhythms.It causes a person to become sleepy by lowering his body’s core temperature.In teens,melatonin is secreted much later in the evening and continues to increase throughout the night.This makes it difficult for teens to fall asleep earlier as they did in their younger years.Likewise,the effect of melatonin continues until much later in the morning,making it hard for them to wake up early.
A study found that at least one in four teens is tired and falls asleep in school at least once a week.During sleep,important body functions and brain activities happen.So how can teenagers get their sleep enough? The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that middle and high schools should start later—not before 8:30 am.This should give teens some more time to sleep at night.
