Regulation of Adolescent Sleep: Implications for Behavior
TL;DR: Data from adolescent participants examining EEG markers of sleep homeostasis are presented to evaluate whether process S shows maturational changes permissive of altered sleep patterns across puberty, and indicate that certain aspects of the homeostatic system are unchanged from late childhood to young adulthood, while other features change in a manner that ispermissive of later bedtimes in older adolescents.
