I don't think that is the implied assumption; the stated reason for this change, FTA:
> The American Academy of Pediatrics, which backed the bill, said in 2014 policy statement that getting too little sleep puts teenagers’ physical and mental health at risk, as well as their academic performance. The organization cited research that shows that biological changes in puberty make it difficult for the average teenager to fall asleep before 11pm, and that teenagers need between 8.5 and 9.5 hours of sleep to function at their best.
- colordrops 7y agoDid they give a cause as to why it's hard for them to sleep before 11pm? That doesn't contradict what I said in the slightest.
- theptip 7y ago> The organization cited research that shows that biological changes in puberty make it difficult for the average teenager to fall asleep before 11pm I didn't follow the citation, but that would be my suggestion for the first place to look if you want to understand their theory better.
