Another way of wording the finding is "students who engage in activities that adults don't approve of found to also go to sleep at a time adults don't approve of."

The point isn't the time that they go to sleep. The point is the amount of time that they stay asleep.

And suicide, for instance, is a bit more than just "activities that adults don't approve of". It's self-evidently harmful.

There’s no reference to going to sleep at a particular time.

Fair enough. s/go to sleep at a time/have sleeping habits/

Although I somehow doubt the parents' issue is their kids go to bed promptly at eleven but then insist on getting up at five in the morning.

Those missing 2 hours of sleep are probably from going to bed 2 hours later, though, which is a pretty specific time.

From going to bed 2 hours later, and being unable to get up two hours later, because school starts at a nice early time.
