Abstract:The objective of this systematic review was to examine the relationships between objectively and subjectively measured sleep duration and various health indicators in children and youth aged 5-17 years. Online databases were searched in January 2015 with no date or study design limits. Included studies were peer-reviewed and met the a priori-determined population (apparently healthy children and youth aged 5-17 years), intervention/exposure/comparator (various sleep durations), and outcome (adiposity, emotional regulation, cognition/academic achievement, quality of life/well-being, harms/injuries, and cardiometabolic biomarkers) criteria. Because of high levels of heterogeneity across studies, narrative syntheses were employed. A total of 141 articles (110 unique samples), including 592 215 unique participants from 40 different countries, met inclusion criteria. Overall, longer sleep duration was associated with lower adiposity indicators, better emotional regulation, better academic achievement, and better quality of life/well-being. The evidence was mixed and/or limited for the association between sleep duration and cognition, harms/injuries, and cardiometabolic biomarkers. The quality of evidence ranged from very low to high across study designs and health indicators. In conclusion, we confirmed previous investigations showing that shorter sleep duration is associated with adverse physical and mental health outcomes. However, the available evidence relies heavily on cross-sectional studies using self-reported sleep. To better inform contemporary sleep recommendations, there is a need for sleep restriction/extension interventions that examine the changes in different outcome measures against various amounts of objectively measured sleep to have a better sense of dose-response relationships.Key words: sleep duration, adiposity, body weight, emotional regulation, mental health, cognition, academic achievement, quality of life, well-being, injuries.Résumé : Cette analyse systématique a pour objectif d'examiner la relation entre la mesure objective et subjective de la durée du sommeil et d'autres indicateurs sanitaires chez des enfants et des jeunes âgés de 5 à 17 ans. En janvier 2015, une recherche est faite dans les bases de données en ligne sans contrainte de date et de devis utilisé. Les études retenues sont sanctionnées par des pairs et sont conformes aux critères a priori déterminés : la population (des jeunes apparemment en bonne santé âgés de 5 à 17 ans), l'intervention/exposition/comparaison (durées variées du sommeil) et le résultat (adiposité, contrôle des émotions, cognition/ rendement scolaire, qualité de vie/bien-être, préjudices/blessures et biomarqueurs cardiométaboliques). À cause du haut niveau d'hétérogénéité des études, on utilise des synthèses narratives. Au total, 141 articles (110 échantillons originaux) incluant 592 215 participants distincts de 40 pays différents sont conformes aux critères d'inclusion. Globalement, une plus longue durée de sommeil est associée aux indicateurs de ...

“…Adolescents with sleeping difficulties are at risk since there are associations with reduced learning ability, memory impairment, hyperactivity, worsened school performance, lower grades, and increased risk of depression and anxiety . Factors that negatively affect sleep are loneliness , negative family environment, technology use (other than television), evening light, presleep worry, and the use of caffeine, tobacco and alcohol .…”

Sleeping difficulties are increasingly prevalent among adolescents worldwide and have negative consequences for adolescent health and education. The aim of this study was to describe the reasons for sleeping difficulties as perceived by adolescents. Sleeping difficulties include insufficient sleep, trouble falling asleep, waking up at night or sleep that does not leave an individual rested. Data were collected in 2015 using an open-ended question. The sample consisted of n = 475 adolescents from a city in Sweden, aged 15-16 years, with self-assessed sleeping difficulties. The results described the reasons for the adolescents' sleeping difficulties, at a general, thematic level, as an imbalance between requirements and preconditions, distributed to stress, technology use, poor sleep habits, existential thoughts, needs and suffering. To find a balance in their daily lives, adolescents may need support from parents, school nurses and school health services to deal with their sleeping difficulties.

“…It can also be the result of other factors, such as the pressure to be popular, an individual's friendship status, feeling insecure due to bullying or a stressful and noisy school environment. Today, school stress and stress-related illness are increasing among adolescents, and it has been shown that weak school performance is associated with short sleep duration and sleeping difficulties (9,13). Additional evidence from Feld et al (14) has found an association between general stress and short sleep duration.…”

Sleeping problems are increasing among adolescents worldwide. This study aimed to describe the prevalence of self‐reported sleep duration and sleeping difficulties, as well as to explore their associations with school stress, self‐perception, that is how adolescents perceive their appearance and happiness, and technology use among adolescents. Data were collected in 2015 using a questionnaire. A total of 937 ninth grade adolescents, 15–16 years, from a city in western Sweden participated, resulting in a response rate of 83%. The result showed that 55% of the adolescents slept less than the recommended 8 hours per night and 11% had sleeping difficulties. School stress and technology use were associated with short sleep duration. School stress and self‐perception were associated with sleeping difficulties. The girls had worse outcomes for sleeping difficulties, school stress, self‐perception and technology use than the boys. Based on the results, there is a need for school nurses to implement preventive measures to improve adolescents’ sleep.

Associations of self-reported sleep disturbance and duration with academic failure in community-dwelling Swedish adolescents: Sleep and academic performance at school

Abstract: Our findings indicate that reports of sleep disturbance and short sleep duration are linked to academic failure in adolescents. Based on our data, causality cannot be established.
