TL;DR
Timing of sleep and wakefulness correlated more closely with academic performance than total sleep time and other relevant factors, which have important implications for programs intended to improve academic performance by targeting sleep habits of students.
Abstract
Timing of sleep and wakefulness correlated more closely with academic performance than total sleep time and other relevant factors. These findings have important implications for programs intended to improve academic performance by targeting sleep habits of students.

It is suggested that cumulative nocturnal sleep debt had a dynamic and escalating analog in cumulative daytime sleepiness and that asymptotic or steady-state sleepiness was not achieved in response to sleep restriction.

1,639 Citations1998Amy R. Wolfson, Mary A. Carskadon
Most of the adolescents surveyed do not get enough sleep, and their sleep loss interferes with daytime functioning.

Data support involvement of a biological factor in the adolescent phase preference delay and indicate that the current understanding of adolescent sleep patterns may need revision.

The findings support the validity of the Sleep Habits Survey estimates in comparison with diary and actigraphy, andStrengths and limitations for survey measures of high school students' usual sleep/wake patterns are discussed.

556 Citations1990Mary A. Carskadon
The primary conclusion is that many adolescents do not get enough sleep, and the consequences of the chronic pattern of insufficient sleep are daytime sleepiness, vulnerability to catastrophic accidents, mood and behavior problems, increased vulnerability to drugs and alcohol, and development of major disorders of the sleep/wake cycle.

Prevalence of insomnia disorders is lower in the adolescent population than in middle-aged or elderly adults, however, a rate of 4% in this young population is important given their young age and the consequences for daytime functioning.

Sleep tendency was examined during extended waking in prepubertal and mature adolescents to determine whether sleep pressure is lower near bedtime in the latter group, supporting the hypothesis that a developmental change of intrinsic sleep–wake regulation may provide physiologically mediated ‘permission’ for later bedtimes in older adolescents.
