Adolescents in high school suffer from circadian misalignment, undersleeping on weekdays and oversleeping on weekends. Since high schools usually impose early schedules, adolescents suffer from permanent social jetlag and thus are a suitable population to study the effects of social jetlag on both academic and cognitive performance. In this study, 796 adolescents aged 12 to 16 reported information about their sleep habits, morningness-eveningness, cognitive abilities and grade point average.Time in bed on both weekdays and weekends were not related to cognitive abilities, and only time in bed on weekdays was related to academic achievement. Social jetlag was negatively related to academic achievement, cognitive abilities (except for vocabulary and verbal fluency abilities) and general cognitive ability (g), whereas morningnesseveningness was slightly positively related to academic achievement and marginally negatively related to inductive reasoning. Results separated by sex/gender indicated that social jetlag may be more detrimental to girls' performance, as it was negatively related to a greater number of cognitive abilities and grade point average.

“…On the basis of previous research, it is speculated that academic-related activities and behavioral factors such as television-viewing might constitute some of the major external factors that prevent the school-aged children and adolescents from obtaining adequate sleep. [36][37][38] Indeed, our overweight/obese children tended to spend more time on homework (reading) and television-viewing than their normal-weight peers (Table 1). In addition, our children tended to delay their bedtime by 30 to 40 minutes during weekends and holidays.…”

There was a prominent difference in sleep duration between weekdays and weekends/holidays among school children. Short sleep duration was associated with higher BMI, but compensation of sleep during weekends/holidays may partly ameliorate the risk of childhood overweight/obesity. Further prospective and interventional study is needed to delineate the risk-benefit effect of these increasingly common sleep habits among children and adolescents.

Socioeconomic position and sleep quantity in UK adults

Study objective: To investigate the association between markers of socioeconomic position (years of full time education, access to a car or van, and occupational social class) and mid-range sleep quantity (6.5 to 8.5 hours). Data source: Office of National Statistics Omnibus Survey, May 1999. Participants: 3000 households were randomly selected from the UK postcode address file and one person aged over 16 years from each household was randomly selected and invited to take part in the survey. All respondents aged 25 and over (n = 1473) were included in the analyses where appropriate data were available. Main results: Total sleep quantity was greater in more deprived women as measured by years in full time education. There was no linear association between total sleep quantity and any of the markers of socioeconomic position in men. Mid-range sleep quantity was more common in more educated women. Similar, non-significant, trends were seen in men. Conclusion: There is little evidence that more socioeconomically deprived people obtain less sleep than more advantaged ones-indeed, the reverse may be true-but some evidence that more advantaged women are more likely to report mid-range sleep. Any hypothesis implicating sleep in socioeconomic inequalities in health should take into account mid-range, rather than total, sleep quantity. Further work should focus both on mid-range, or ''healthy'' sleep, quantity as well as sleep quality.T here is evidence that sleep deprivation is associated with impaired glucose tolerance and hypertension.1 2 As these disease markers, as well as numerous disease outcomes, vary according to socioeconomic position (SEP), 3 it has been suggested that variations in sleep quantity may mediate the relation between SEP and health.4 Theoretical reasons for this include known socioeconomic variations in stress, 5 housing quality, 6 and overcrowding. However, the association between sleep quantity and both morbidity and mortality seems to be U shaped with lowest risk at around six to eight hours of sleep per night. [8][9][10][11] Published data on SEP and sleep quantity are sparse but have failed, to date, to report a linear association. [12][13][14] In fact, there is some evidence of an inverse linear association between SEP and sleep.14 One recent analysis of US data investigated socioeconomic variations in short (,6.5 hours), mid-range (6.5-8.5 hours), and long (.8.5 hours) sleep finding that lower educational attainment was associated with increased risk of being a short or long sleeper. 15To provide further information on the association between SEP and sleep quantity, and the first such data from the UK, data from the UK Office for National Statistics' (ONS) Omnibus Survey were analysed. METHODSThe ONS Omnibus Survey is a regular, multi-purpose, survey.16 17 Each month 3000 private households in the UK are randomly selected using the postcode address file and one randomly selected person aged over 16 from each household is invited to take part in the survey. In May 1999, respondents were asked...
