Teens' sleep habits cause of antisocial behavior?

Posted on Jul 23rd 2007 8:31PM by Brian White
Antisocial behavior in lean or massive form is a mainstay of being a teenager. But, does it have to be? New findings suggest that a teen's preference for sleep during the nighttime or daytime may have a direct impact on the level of antisocial behavior that teen exhibits.

Have a teen who likes to be a night owl? He or she may have more antisocial behavior than one who goes to sleep early and rises early. Does that teen participate in daytime activities? If not, propensity for antisocial behavior ensues.

I wonder if this has any biochemical basis or just marks a teen's outlook on conformity. Sleeping late and all that is generally perceived as "not normal," which could mark a teen's manner towards socially accepted behvavior. Just me two cents.
