Teen Sleep and Grades: Biology Isn't the Whole Story
Original: Teen Sleep and Grades: Why Biology Alone Cannot Explain the Gap
New commentary argues that teenage sleep patterns alone cannot explain why some students perform better at school than others. While adolescent biology shifts body clocks later and affects rest, the piece stresses that grades are also shaped by social factors such as school schedules, workload, family circumstances and screen habits. The article is prompting discussion about how schools and parents should respond to teens' sleep needs without treating biology as destiny.
Why now: Debates about school start times and teen wellbeing keep sleep and academic performance in the news.
