“…Notably, this sample of Mexican American youth averaged about eight hours of sleep per night at Time 1, less than the recommended nine to ten hours a night for this age group (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 2012), but somewhat consistent with prior findings (Carskadon & Acebo, 2002; Fuligni & Hardway, 2006; Maslowsky & Ozer, 2014). Also consistent with existing literature (Dillon et al, 2014; Fuligni & Hardway, 2006), their sleep varied about one and a half hours across the seven days, providing some evidence of irregularity in their sleep patterns.…”

“…There is, however, some research suggesting that Mexican American adolescents and adults report slightly longer nightly sleep duration than individuals from other ethnic backgrounds (Fuligni & Hardway, 2006; Hale & Do, 2007). Further, some evidence suggests that the average night-to-night variation in sleep duration in adolescence and young adulthood is roughly an hour across a two-week period (Dillon et al, 2014; Fuligni & Hardway, 2006). In this study, our focus was on two dimensions of sleep, average nighttime sleep duration and night-to-night variability in sleep duration, which were derived from bedtime and wake-up time data collected during seven diary phone calls.…”

Late adolescence is a period of substantial risk for unhealthy sleep patterns. This study investigated the contextual correlates and health and adjustment implications of sleep patterns among Mexican American youth (N = 246; 51% female). We focused on Mexican American youth because they represent a large and rapidly increasing subgroup of the U.S. population that is at higher risk for health and adjustment problems; this higher risk may be explained, in part, by sleep patterns. Using data from 7 phone diary interviews conducted when youth averaged 18 years of age, we assessed average nighttime sleep duration and night-to-night variability in sleep duration. Guided by socio-ecological models, we first examined how experiences in the family context (time spent and quality of relationships with parents, parents’ familism values) and in extra-familial contexts (school, work, peers) were related to sleep duration and variability. The findings revealed that time spent in school, work, and with peers linked to less sleep. Further, conflict with mothers was related to greater sleep variability. Next, we tested the implications of sleep in late adolescence for health (perceived physical health, body mass index) and adjustment (depressive symptoms, risky behaviors) in young adulthood. These findings indicated that more sleep variability predicted relative decreases in health and increases in risky behaviors, and shorter sleep duration predicted relative decreases in poorer perceived health for males. The discussion highlights the significance of the transition to young adulthood as a target for sleep research and the importance of studying sleep within its socio-cultural context.

“…Although self-reported sleep parameters, including SOL and WASO typically differ from those obtained from objective assessments [24], recent studies have shown that such self-report sleep assessments can be recommended for the characterization of sleep parameters in both clinical and population-based research [25]. Also, the accuracy of self-reported SOL and WASO are generally better among adolescents than in older adults [26]. Second, the attrition from the study could affect generalizability, with a response rate of 53%.…”

“…Additionally, we observed that individuals with a concussion in our sample experienced greater day-to-day variability in nighttime sleep, which may have substantial negative health consequences. Even in typical adults without a concussion, research has linked such variability to poor subjective sleep quality and lower subjective well-being, 49,50 weight gain, 51 depressive symptoms, 52,53 and stress. 54 In older adults, increased sleep duration variability has been associated with higher rates of diabetes, 55,56 cardiovascular disease, 56 and obesity…”

Study Objectives: A number of subjective and objective studies provide compelling evidence of chronic post-concussion changes in sleep, yet very little is known about the acute effects of concussion on sleep quality and quantity. Therefore, the purpose of this prospective pilot study was to use actigraphy to examine the changes in sleep quality and quantity acutely following concussion at home rather than in a hospital or sleep laboratory. Methods: Seventeen young adults (7 with acute concussion, 10 controls) were recruited for this study. All participants completed two 5-day testing sessions separated by 30 days from intake (controls) or day of injury (concussion). Participants wore actigraphs and kept a sleep journal. Sleep parameter outcomes included nighttime total sleep time (nTST), 24-h total sleep time (TST), wake after sleep onset (WASO), and sleep efficiency (SE). The coefficient of variation (CV) for each sleep parameter was computed for each session. Results: nTST and TST CV was significantly greater in the concussion group. There is the additional indication that individuals with a concussion may require and obtain more sleep shortly after injury and subsequently have a shorter duration of sleep at 1 mo post-injury. This pattern was not seen in the measures of sleep quality (WASO, SE). Conclusions: Individuals with a concussion demonstrated increased nighttime sleep duration variability. This increase persisted at 1 mo post-injury and may be associated with previously documented self-reports of poor sleep quality lasting months and years after a concussion. Additionally, this increase may predispose individuals to numerous negative health outcomes if left untreated.

Variability in Self-Reported Normal Sleep Across the Adult Age Span

Abstract: To truly assess and understand individual differences in the sleep of older adults, future research needs to take into account night-to-night variability (including what makes sleep vary from one night to the next), in addition to average sleep.
