Adolescent Sleep Challenges and Nap Licenses
This chapter explores the challenges faced by adolescents in getting enough sleep due to their delayed circadian rhythm and early wake-up times. It discusses the concept of 'nap licenses' for adolescents who are unable to achieve an early bedtime, resulting in reduced sleep opportunity. The chapter advocates for napping in the afternoon to help revive adolescents and prevent chronic sleep deprivation.
