Maturational Changes in Sleep-Wake Timing: Longitudinal Studies of the Circadian Activity Rhythm of a Diurnal Rodent
Abstract
In addition to the maturation of endocrine and reproductive systems, puberty in human adolescents is associated with changes in the temporal patterns of several physiological and behavioral events. One of the most prominent behavioral changes is an alteration in sleep organization, specifically a delay in the timing of nocturnal sleep (Strauch & Meier, 1988; Carskadon, Vieira, & Acebo, 1993). Epidemiologic data demonstrate that length of nocturnal sleep declines across adolescence. Most older teenagers report that their sleep patterns on weekdays have an increasingly delayed time of sleep onset, yet they are constrained to wake up early due to school demands. On weekends, when school constraints are not present, sleep onset and sleep offset are delayed. This adolescent delay of the sleep-wake schedule is also associated with a more evening-type preference (Andrade, Benedito-Silva, & Menna-Barreto, 1992; Carskadon et al., 1993). Although social factors are clearly important in the evolving sleep-wake pattern of adolescents, available evidence implicates peripubertal changes in physiologic mechanisms controlling the timing of sleep. Current models of these mechanisms allow two broad hypotheses: either the circadian system regulating sleep timing is altered to produce a delayed entrained phase position, or homeostatic processes are changed to delay sleep times relative to the circadian oscillator (Borbely, Achermann, Trachsel, & Tobler, 1989). This latter hypothesis remains largely unexplored and is not addressed here.

The newer reviewed data did not provide evidence that circadian phase was more advanced in the pre-pubertal animals than the pubertal animals.
“The newer reviewed data did not provide evidence that circadian phase was more advanced in the pre-pubertal animals than the pubertal animals, unlike previous studies in the degu and rat that briefly examined one or two pubertal time points [9, 75, 185].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
