“…One of the possible reasons for this improvement can be derived from the benefits of sports practice, including changes in neurotransmitters and biochemical processes that could be associated with better sleep quality [ 31 ]. Another factor is that sports practice in adolescence was associated with better mental health [ 32 ], which could successively contribute to the quality of sleep, since better mental health has been associated with better sleep quality in children and adolescents [ 33 , 34 ].…”

Background Sports practice can promote several health benefits in pediatric populations; nonetheless, most of the studies that investigated these benefits are of cross-sectional design. Thus, our objective was to verify the effectiveness of two types of physical activities through sports, judo and ball games (soccer, volleyball, handball, and basketball) on the quality of sleep and life of Brazilian children and adolescents. Methods The study is a randomized clinical trial, conducted with 65 participants of both sexes (6–15 years old) in a philanthropic institution in Brazil. The variables investigated were the quality of sleep and life, using the mini-sleep questionnaire and KidsCreen-52 questionnaires (this instrument has a scale ranging from 0 to 100, where 100 is the best value for each domain), respectively. The interventions carried out during 12 weeks (twice a week) were judo and ball games. In the statistical analysis, analysis of variance (ANOVA) for repeated measures was used and the level of statistical significance used was 5%. Results Judo (P = 0.032) and ball games (P = 0.005) contributed to improving the quality of sleep in the participants. Considering the score of the domains of quality of life, judo and ball games significantly increased the perception of health and physical activity [mean = 6.9 (8.3%) and 8.91 (12.2%) points, respectively], autonomy [mean = 5.81 (7.3%) and 5.00 (6.9%) points], friends and social support (mean = 2.83 (3.8%) and 12.00 (15.9%) points), provocation and bullying [mean = 10.21 (18.1%) and 2.14 (4.1%) points]. Conclusion It is concluded that both judo and ball games brought benefits to the quality of sleep and life of children and adolescents. Health promotion actions should encourage the increase in sports practice in children and adolescents to improve sleep and quality of life.

“…Good night's sleep is essential for a person's well‐functioning. However, conversely, irregular sleep increases the risk of physical and psychological problems (i.e., poor memory, learning, creativity, and emotions) (Mnatzaganian et al, 2020; Tafoya & Aldrete‐Cortez, 2019). However, sleeping problems are pretty common among college students (Ghrouz et al, 2019; Mulyadi et al, 2021).…”

Purpose: To describe positive mental health (PMH) psychological vulnerability (PV) and identify predictors of PMH in higher education students (HES).Design and Methods: A cross-sectional, predictive study was performed with a convenience sample of 3322 students, using an online questionnaire with sociodemographic information, the PMH Questionnaire, and the PV Scale. Findings:The majority scored a flourishing level, and 67.7% of the participants scored high levels of PV. The Regression Model found a significant predictive variable for PMH.Practice Implications: Gender, age, regular exercise, healthy diet, number of meals per day, and leisure activities are significant positive predictors of PMH. PV is the sole significant negative predictor. Therefore, improving mental health literacy can be a strategy to support HES.

“…Scores of 5, 10, 15, and 20 represent the cut-off points for mild, moderate, moderately severe, and severe depression, respectively [27]. The scale has been shown to be a valid tool in detecting depression among adolescents across various cultures [28][29][30][31][32][33].…”

Digital traces are often used as a substitute for survey data. However, it is unclear whether and how digital traces actually correspond to the surveybased traits they purport to measure. This paper examines correlations between self-reports and digital trace proxies of depression, anxiety, mood, social integration and sleep among high school students. The study is based on a small but rich multilayer data set (N = 144). The data set contains mood and sleep measures, assessed daily over a 4-month period, along with survey measures at two points in time and information about online activity from VK, the most popular social networking site in Russia. Our analysis indicates that 1) the sentiments expressed in social media posts are correlated with depression; namely, adolescents with more severe symptoms of depression write more negative posts, 2) late-night posting indicates less sleep and poorer sleep quality, and 3) students who were nominated less often as somebody's friend in the survey have fewer friends on VK and their posts receive fewer "likes." However, these correlations are generally weak. These results demonstrate that digital traces can serve as useful supplements to, rather than substitutes for, survey data in studies on adolescents' well-being. These estimates of correlations between survey and digital trace data could provide useful guidelines for future research on the topic.
