That's not necessarily true - it's age dependent. Adolescents/teenagers are "hardwired" to stay up later[1] and sleep in later (relative to adults or younger children).

Somehow, hardwired time to sleep is independent of sunsent and location in timezone. No matter where the sun is at, no matter anything.

In winter, there is dark at like 17:00. How do their bodies know difference between 22:00 and 24:00?
