A tendency to sleep at a set time each day defines an individual's "chronotype". Although strongly influenced by genetics and light exposure, age-related body changes play a key role.

Sleep promotes memory consolidation and problem solving, while shortened sleep can drive impulsivity, decreased empathy, self-harm, depression and increased use of stimulants.
