Abstract
⺠Delayed sleep patterns (later chronotype), develop during adolescence in humans. ⺠Pubertal changes in chronotype occur in many other mammalian species. ⺠These changes in chronotype differ by sex and are driven by reproductive hormones. ⺠Fundamental properties of the circadian timekeeping system change during adolescence. ⺠Despite physiological causes, basic interventions can help adolescent sleep problems.
