“…The quality of evidence was downgraded from low to very low for this study design because of a serious risk of bias (sleep duration was self-reported with no psychometric properties reported) and serious imprecision (only 1 study was published so the risk of imprecision is high). Both cross-sectional studies (Do et al 2013;Perkinson-Gloor et al 2013) reported better quality of life and well-being with longer sleep duration. The quality of evidence was downgraded from low to very low because of a serious risk of bias (both studies relied on self-reported sleep with no psychometric properties reported).…”

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.

“…From an empirical point of view, former contributions indeed found a positive relation between sleep quality and/or sleep duration and academic performance. Many studies report a positive association between opportune sleep habits and beneficial primary and secondary schooling outcomes such as reading, math and spatial ability test scores and school grades (see, e.g., Bruni et al, 2006;Dewald et al, 2010;Kelly et al, 2013;Meijer, 2008;Perkinson-Gloor, 2013;Short et al, 2013;Stea et al, 2014).…”

Abstract. There is growing evidence that health factors affect tertiary education success in a causal way. This study assesses the effect of sleep quality on academic achievement at university. To this end, we surveyed 2 804 students about their sleep quality by means of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) before the start of their first exam period in December 2013 at Ghent University. PSQI scores were merged with course marks in this exam period. Instrumenting PSQI scores by sleep quality during secondary education, we find that increasing total sleep quality with one standard deviation leads to 4.85 percentage point higher course marks.Based on this finding, we suggest that higher education providers might be incentivised to invest part of their resources for social facilities in professional support for students with sleep and other health problems.

“…We note that tiredness is a common phenomenon that most adults and children experience occasionally and may well affect some individuals often and adversely during their education or employment (e.g. Oginska & Pokorski, 2006;Perkinson-Gloor, Lemola, & Grob, 2013;Perkinson-gloor et al, 2015). Hence, it is likely that cues to tiredness, such as eyelidopenness and subtle frowning will affect attributions and quite possibly expectations of performance.…”

Eyelid-openness and mouth curvature influence perceived intelligence beyond attractiveness.

Impression formation is profoundly influenced by facial attractiveness, but the existence of facial cues which affect judgments beyond such an “attractiveness halo” may be underestimated. Because depression and tiredness adversely affect cognitive capacity, we reasoned that facial cues to mood (mouth curvature) and alertness (eyelid-openness) affect impressions of intellectual capacity. Over 4 studies we investigated the influence of these malleable facial cues on first impressions of intelligence. In Studies 1 and 2 we scrutinize the perceived intelligence and attractiveness ratings of images of 100 adults (aged 18–33) and 90 school-age children (aged 5–17), respectively. Intelligence impression was partially mediated by attractiveness, but independent effects of eyelid-openness and subtle smiling were found that enhanced intelligence ratings independent of attractiveness. In Study 3 we digitally manipulated stimuli to have altered eyelid-openness or mouth curvature and found that each independent manipulation had an influence on perceptions of intelligence. In a final set of stimuli (Study 4) we explored changes in these cues before and after sleep restriction, to examine whether natural variations in these cues according to sleep condition can influence perceptions. In Studies 3 and 4 variations with increased eyelid-openness and mouth curvature were found to relate positively to intelligence ratings. These findings suggest potential overgeneralizations based on subtle facial cues that indicate mood and tiredness, both of which alter cognitive ability. These findings also have important implications for students who are directly influenced by expectations of ability and teachers who may form expectations based on initial perceptions of intelligence.
