Due to shifts in their biological rhythms, adolescents become sleepy later at night during puberty and need to sleep later into the morning, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine says. Sleep experts say teens have unique biological sleep patterns that make it hard for them to fall asleep before 11 p.m., and that they need 8 to 10 hours of sleep each night to function at their best.
