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. 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. 词汇： adolescent n.青少年;adj.青少年的 sync n. 同步;和谐，协调 注释： 2. your internal clock ：指的是第一句中的a clock located inside our brains ，也即是第二段第一句中的the biological clock 。 4.
