Problem
Social Jetlag (SJL) is a condition leading to many important physical, mental, behavioral, and cognitive problems in adolescents.
Methods
The sample of this study, which used a descriptive and correlational design, consisted of 247 high school students. The SJL parameters were informed by the literature, while chronotype was identified using the Morningness‐Eveningness Scale for Children. The factors associated with SJL were determined using a structured questionnaire.
Findings
Students' SJL value was 2 h 10 min ± 01:11. As students' tendency to be an evening chronotype increased, the SJL value increased, as well (r = −0.472; p < 0.001). In terms of SJL, student's grade level (β = −0.167; p = 0.004) and chronotype (β = −0.438; p < 0.001) were a negative risk factor, while spending time in bed with TV/computer/smartphone before sleeping (β = 0.127; p = 0.031) was a positive risk factor.
Conclusions
The students had a high SJL value. The results might be useful for nurses to develop intervention strategies to improve adolescents sleep habits.
