This cycle，called a circadian rhythm，helps control when 　　you wake，when you eat and when you sleep. 　　Somewhere around puberty，something happens in the timing of the biological clock. The 　　clock pushes forward，so adolescents and teenagers are unable to fall asleep as early as they used to. When your mother tells you its time for bed，your body may be pushing you to stay up3 for several hours more. And the light coming from your computer screen or TV could be pushing you to stay up even later. 　　This shift4 is natural for teenagers. But staying up very late and sleeping late can get your bodys clock out of sync with the cycle of light and dark5. It can also make it hard to get out of bed in the morning and may bring other problems，too. Teenagers are put in a kind of a gray cloud6 when they dont get enough sleep，says Mary Carskadon，a sleep researcher at Brown University in Providence，RI7 .It affects their mood and their ability to think and learn. 　　But just like your alarm clock，your internal clock can be reset. In fact，it automatically resets 　　itself every day. How? By using the light it gets through your eyes. 　　Scientists have known for a long time that the light of day and the dark of night play important roles in setting our internal clocks. For years，researchers thought that the signals that synchronize the bodys clock8 were handled through the same pathways that we use to see. 　　But recent discoveries show that the human eye has two separate light-sensing systems. One system allows us to see. The second system tells our body whether its day or night. 　　词汇： 　　circadian/s3:keidi?n/ adj. 昼夜节奏的，生理节奏的 　　adolescent/?d?ules?nt/ n.青少年;adj.青少年的 　　puberty/ pju:b?ti/ n.发育;青春期 　　sync/si?k/ n.
