Children have backward circadian rhythm so they fall asleep before their parents, and teenagers have forward so they sleep after their parents, which gives them few hour of individuality before they become adult. + . For adults who find it hard to sleep early at night, don't take a nap, don't sleep at the noon, exercise and take indirect sunlight at the noon.

Circadian rhythm works in a circle of awake period and sleep period but there is this thing called adenosine which piles up in the brain and forces sleep. When we pull an all nighter, this adenosine levels will keep rise inducing more sleep but the circadian rhythms will enter into awake period and thus we feel alert. Similar in the case of jetlag, which is compounded by external factors as well.

The shorter you sleep, the shorter your lifetime
