It seems that adolescents tend to like to sleep for longer than older adults. That just seems how people are wired at different stages of life; nothing wrong with either preference. But the older adults run society, which means that getting up early is seen as the “productive” and “A-type” thing to do, and in turn we end up structuring people’s schedules accordingly. Adolescents of course don’t get a vote on when school is supposed to start.
