What I find far more worrying that this is about a very small group of people: those who commit serious hacks and write malware. I believe the group doing other kinds of mischief, from trolling and bullying to off-the-shelf tools to spy on classmates, is far bigger. And such kids may (even) less easily be categorised based on sleeping patterns or social isolation. Martijn.
