Anders Seminar Series 12:00 pm Stephanie Crowley, PhD Professor, Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Science, Rush University Topic: Burning the candle at both ends: Can it impact circadian clock resetting in teens? Chronic circadian misalignment and sleep restriction are at their peak during adolescence, and are associated with excessive daytime sleepiness, learning impairment, poor academic performance, conduct problems, depressed mood, suicidal ideation, substance use, obesity, and increased risk for car accidents. This insufficient and poorly timed sleep is partly the result of enhanced evening alertness driven by changes to sleep regulation during puberty being in direct conflict with the early social clock of school schedules. The aim of this presentation is to describe new results from our ongoing studies examining the impact of evening light exposure and sleep restriction on circadian phase resetting of teens. How these data may inform the “Perfect Storm Model” of adolescent sleep behavior and why these data are particularly relevant for treating circadian-based sleep-wake phase disorders in teens will be discussed.
