“…Although they have a similar bedtime during the school week to their male counterparts, females wake up earlier on school mornings, obtaining less school night sleep and compensating by going to bed earlier on the weekend and obtaining more weekend night sleep. Previous research supports our findings of shorter TST School for female vs. male adolescents (Jiang et al, 2015; Ming et al, 2016; Ojio et al, 2016) but more research is needed on the between-sex differences in adolescent TST Weekend. The 5.4-min shorter TST School in females compared with males may seem like a modest difference but translates to a 27-min reduction in sleep duration across one week.…”

Social jetlag, a misalignment between sleep timing on the weekend and work week, is associated with depressive symptoms among adults across both sexes. One prior study found that later sleep timing was associated with depressive symptoms in women but not men. To date, however, no research has investigated whether the association between social jetlag and depression varies by sex among adolescents. The current study assessed self-reported sleep, depressive symptoms, and demographic information from 3,058 adolescents (48% female, mean ± SD age 15.59 ± .77 years) from the age 15 wave of the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study (FFCWS). Social jetlag was calculated as the absolute value of the midpoint of sleep on the weekend minus the midpoint of sleep during the school week. Depressive symptoms were measured through a modified 5-item version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). We assessed whether the associations between sleep duration on school nights, social jetlag, and depressive symptoms were similar between male and female adolescents using multiple linear regression. In fully adjusted models, sex moderated the association between school night TST and depressive symptoms (p < .001) and between social jetlag and depressive symptoms (p = .037). In females, but not in males, school night TST was negatively associated with depressive symptoms (p <. 001), while social jetlag (p < .001) was positively and independently associated with depressive symptoms. The results indicate the importance of regular sleep timing across the week and adequate sleep duration for maintenance of optimal emotional health among female adolescents.

“…The natural changes to the body’s sleep processes transform during adolescence; these changes also vary by gender, but research results are contradictory. Studies have found that adolescent females have poorer sleep quality, more difficulty falling asleep, and shorter sleep duration than their male counterparts (Galland et al., 2017; Marczyk Organek et al., 2015; Maslowsky & Ozer, 2014; Ming et al., 2016; Ohida et al., 2004; Wang et al., 2016). Other research has revealed that older adolescent males, but not their female counterparts, experience more disrupted sleep and more wakefulness after initially falling asleep than younger males (Baker et al., 2016).…”

With high screen time and poor sleep commonly reported in adolescents, it is important to more fully understand how screen time impacts sleep. Despite similar overall screen times, male and female media preferences and usages differ, making it critical to determine if different domains of screen time differentially affect sleep quality. The present study examined whether differing amounts and domains of screen‐based media vary in impact on sleep quality of 16‐year‐old male and female adolescents over a 3‐month period. A total of 98 adolescents (mean [SD] age 16.27 [0.29] years; 51% female) completed two online surveys spaced 3 months apart and comprised of well‐validated self‐reported measures of sleep quality, media usage, and depressive symptoms. The various domains of media were categorised into screen‐based media with little‐to‐no peer‐to‐peer interaction involved (video‐only) and screen‐based media with interaction a predominant component to the usage (peer‐to‐peer interaction‐involved). Self‐reported sleep quality decreased across the 3‐month study period. Gender moderated the effect of interactive screen time on sleep quality 3 months later, with interactive screen time associated with better sleep quality in males, but remaining poorer in females. Screen time competes with sleep time and may do so differentially depending on the media domain. Compared to females, interactive components of screen time may lessen worsening sleep quality over time in males. Understanding the relationships among screen time, its content, age, and gender may inform guidelines for educators, parents, and adolescents to help improve sleep quality of adolescents.

“…It is observed that most of the studies included in this synthesis took place in North America, more precisely in the United States (Gilman et al, 2007;Heyer et al, 2014;;Pecor et al, 2015;Kemper et al, 2016;Ming et al, 2016;Lateef et al, 2019). None of the studies were conducted in Brazil.…”

Therefore, the conclusions drawn from these studies should be cautiously considered.…”

“…In 50% of the studies included in the review, headache was seen as a predictive factor for the shorter duration of total sleep time (Gilman et al, 2007;Gruota et al, 2008;Ming et al, 2016;Torres-Ferrus et al, 2018;Lateef et al, 2019). According to Geib (2007), sleep is influenced by several modulators, including headache, categorized as na organic modulator, which leads to the installation of inappropriate sleep habits linked to nighttime awakenings and latency time, resulting in shorter total sleep duration.…”

Objective: The aim of this study is to analyze the association between sleep disorders and headache in adolescents. Materials and Methods: A systematic literature review was carried out, analyzing the publications of articles indexed in the National Library of Medicine (Medline /Pubmed), Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo), Cochrane Library and Scopus.The inclusion criteria were as follows: articles in English, with available abstracts; articles that answered the guiding question; and covered the age group of 10 to 19 years old. Advanced search used the descriptors ‘’ Adolescents’’, ‘’ Sleep disorder’’,’’Headache’’, ‘’Quality of life’’, ‘’Poor sleep quality’’ and their synonyms recognized by the Mesch and Desc vocabulary. Results: of the 3.386 articles found, 2.318 articles were selected for having their titles and abstracts read. Among these articles, 41 were selected for reading in full, resulting in the selection of 10 studies to be included in this review. Conclusions: It is concluded that sleep disorders are associated with headache in adolescents, this association being a complex and bidirectional phenomenon that does not allow to clearly distinguish which condition appears first.

Gender, Headaches, and Sleep Health in High School Students

Abstract: These results are consistent with other studies of gender-based differences in sleep health and emphasize the importance of recognizing the risk of headache in female adolescents and treating that condition to prevent additional sleep health issues.
