“…Moreover, another study has indicated that the shorter sleep duration predicted more internalizing problems (including depression and anxiety) among boys but not girls (Meijer et al, 2010). In contrast, some studies have found no significant gender differences in the association between sleep and emotional symptoms (Park et al, 2019;Zhang et al, 2020). The effect of sleep on executive function has also shown gender differences, with low sleep quality but not shorter duration being associated with worse executive function among girls, whereas both low sleep quality and short sleep duration have been found to be associated with poor executive function among boys (Kuula et al, 2015).…”

Mind wandering refers to task‐unrelated thoughts that can interfere with ongoing tasks and could be sleep‐driven across childhood. The present study investigated the mechanisms of the association between early adolescents' sleep and mind wandering with emotional symptoms and executive function as potential mediators. A total of 257 early adolescents (baseline aged 9–13 years old; 131 boys) completed the questionnaires consisting of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, mind wandering, depression and anxiety symptoms, and executive function. Cross‐sectional and longitudinal data revealed a sequential mediation pathway of emotional symptoms and executive function in the association between sleep and mind wandering. The mediating effect of emotional symptoms in the link between sleep quality and mind wandering was significant among boys but not girls.

Background: Suicide attempts in adolescence represent a major public health concern, since these behaviors are associated with psychosocial burden and an increased risk of suicide. This cross-sectional study aimed to explore possible gender differences related to protective and risk factors in adolescents who have attempted suicide.Methods: Participants were French adolescents hospitalized for attempt suicide in five French pediatric departments. The participants were evaluated on 12 instruments measuring individual risk and protective factors.Results: Our sample included 320 adolescents aged 13–17 years (M = 14.43, SD = 1.29), of whom 82% were female and 35% were repeat attempters. Boys had greater difficulties at school and used more lethal means such as strangulation. We failed to find any differences between the two groups as regards the main Axis I psychiatric diagnoses. Boys tend to use more non-productive coping skills such as tension reduction or wishful thinking and girls use more reference to other strategies such as seeking social support. Although spirituality scores were low overall sample, they were significantly higher among girls.Conclusions: In the end, we find little difference between the two groups in terms of risk factors. However, we have shown gender differences in spirituality and some coping strategies. These results should be taken into consideration when designing suicide prevention programs.

“…However, other studies indicate that insufficient sleep has a greater negative effect on girls' health than on boys' health (Chen et al, 2021). The hormonal and physical changes that occur in girls during puberty may contribute to the relationship between sleep duration and physical health (W.-S. Park et al, 2019). Girls tend to have an increased amount of body fat during the developmental stage, which is necessary for the maintenance of a regular menstrual cycle (Roche & Sun, 2003).…”

The gendered health consequences of persistent exposure to short sleep duration during adolescence

IntroductionDespite evidence that sleep duration is associated with adolescent health, there remain several gaps in the literature. Little is known about: (1) the extent to which persistent exposure to short sleep duration is associated with adolescent health and (2) whether this association varies by gender.MethodsUsing six waves of longitudinal data from the 2011–2016 Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey (N = 6147), this study examined whether persistent exposure to short sleep duration is related to two adolescent health outcomes (overweight status and self‐rated health). Fixed effects models were estimated to account for individual‐level heterogeneity.ResultsShort sleep duration was associated with being overweight and self‐rated health in different ways for boys and girls. Gender‐stratified analysis suggests that, for girls, the risk of being overweight increased for 5 years in a row as short sleep duration persisted. Prolonged short sleep duration also resulted in a continued decline in girls' self‐rated health. For boys, persistent exposure to short sleep duration predicted a lower likelihood of being overweight up to the fourth year, but then began to recover. No association between persistent exposure to short sleep duration and self‐rated health was observed for boys.ConclusionPersistent exposure to short sleep duration was found to be more harmful to the health of girls than boys. Promoting longer sleep duration during adolescence may be an effective intervention to improve adolescent health, especially for girls.
