It seems parents have long been right. Going to bed early is key to getting enough sleep and helping adolescents feel on top of the world, a new study reported.

A   1   of sleep among youngsters may    2   depression and suicidal (自殺的)thoughts, according to the study by the Columbia University Medical Center.

"Our results are   3   with the theory that inadequate sleep is a risk factor for depression, working with other   4   and protective factors through multiple possible causal pathways to the development of this   5   disorder," said lead author James Gangwisch.

"  6   quality sleep could therefore be a preventative measure against   7  and a treatment for depression," he added in the study   8   in the Friday issue of Sleep magazine.

The study followed the nightly habits of some 15,659 college and high-school students, and   9  those who consistently went to bed   10  midnight had a 24 percent higher risk of depression than those who turned in before 10:00 pm.

Night owls（夜貓子）also ran a 20 percent   11  risk of battling suicidal thoughts, the study added.

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine   12   that adolescents should sleep at least nine hours or more a night. Those who were tucked in before 10:00 pm reported they slept    13   about eight hours and 10 minutes.

But that amount of sleep   14  significantly for those in bed after midnight.

And adolescents who slept five hours or less a night were 71 percent more   15  to suffer depression and 48 percent more     16   becoming suicidal, the study said.

"It is a common perception and societal   17  that adolescents do not need as much sleep as pre-adolescents, yet studies suggest that adolescents may  18   require more sleep," said Gangwisch.

"Studies have found that adolescents do not go to bed   19  enough to make up for earlier school start times, and transitions to earlier school start times have been shown to be   20  with significant sleep deprivation（剝奪）. "

Are you a social butterfly, or do you prefer being at the edge of a group of friends? Either way, your genes and evolution may play a major  1  , US researchers reported on Monday.

While it may come as no surprise that genes may help explain  2  some people have many friends and others have  3  , the researchers said, their findings go just a little farther than that.

"Some of the things we find are  4    uncommon," said Nicholas Christakis of Harvard University in Massachusetts, who helped   5  the study.

"We find that how interconnected your friends are   6   on your genes. Some people have four friends who know each other and some people have four friends who don't  7  each other.  8     Dick and Harry know each other depends on Tom's  9    ," Christakis said in a telephone interview.

Christakis and colleague James Fowler of the University of California San Diego are  10     known for their studies that show obesity, smoking and happiness spread in networks.

For this study, they and Christopher Dawes of UCSD used national data that   11   more than 1,000 identical(同卵的) and fraternal（異卵的） twins’ genes. Because  12  share an environment, these studies are good for showing the impact that genes have  13  various things, because identical twins  14  all their genes while fraternal twins share just half.

"We found there appears to be a genetic tendency to introduce your friends  15  each other," Christakis said.

There could be good, evolutionary reasons  16  this. People in the middle of a social network could be secret to useful gossip,  17   the location of food or good investment choices.

But they would also be at risk of catching effects from all sides -- in which case the advantage would  18   more cautious social behavior, they wrote in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

"It may be that natural selection is  19  not just things like whether or not we can resist the common cold, but also who it is that we are going to come into  20   with," Fowler said in a statement.
