Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has found that the biological clock of adolescents undergoes a shift, leading to a delayed release of melatonin. Melatonin is responsible for regulating sleep-wake cycles and is produced by the pineal gland in response to darkness. This delay in melatonin release causes a shift in the sleep-wake schedule of adolescents, leading to later bedtimes and wake-up times.
