title: [Wake-sleep rhythm and school rhythm].
abstract: Recent studies, and notably 24 hour polygraphic recordings, have provided accurate data on the qualitative and quantitative changes in the organization of sleep and wake periods which occur during childhood and adolescence. These studies explain the lack of adaptation of some subjects, notably young children and teenagers, to school hours. It is hoped that this knowledge of changes in circadian rhythms will be taken into account by those who decide on working hours in schools.
