When I was a teen my dad was convinced I was on drugs because all I wanted to do was sleep.
Of course these days we know from sleep scientists that "early high school start times conflict with teens' shifting circadian rhythms," sleep expert Judith Owens recently said to NPR. Thus, teens are more likely to stay up late at night and want to sleep later in the day
I'm no longer a teen (far from it, in fact), and yet I am still neither on drugs nor do I sleep any less. Turns out I continue to have an excuse for my desire to sleep. Often.
