“…However, these studies used distinct cutoff points for insufficient sleep duration (8.5 or less hours and 8 or less hours, respectively). The prevalence rates of poor sleep quality that were found in this study were also well above those found in other countries (10-17%) 9,23,24 . The present study showed that the prevalence rates of poor sleep quality and insufficient sleep duration remained stable after 9 months of follow-up.…”

LicenceAbstract -The association between health behaviors and sleep patterns in youths has been tested using cross-sectional data, and prospective evidence is needed. The aim of this study was to investigate the cross-sectional and prospective associations between behavioral variables and sleep quality and duration. A secondary analysis was conducted using data that were collected in March and December 2006 from a random sample of high school students (aged 14-24 years) from Recife and Florianopolis, Brazil, for the "Saúde na Boa" intervention. Data on the perception of sleep quality and duration and lifestyle variables were obtained through self-reported questionnaires. Data were analyzed using crude and adjusted binary logistic regressions. The percentages of students reporting poor sleep quality and insufficient sleep duration were 45.7% and 76.7%, respectively, considering the cross-sectional data, and 45.8% and 77.5%, respectively, considering the longitudinal data. There was a cross-sectional association between lower physical activity (OR = 0.74, 95% CI: 0.55, 0.99) and higher snack consumption (OR = 1.67, 95% CI: 1.18, 2.36) and negative sleep quality. Excessive TV watching (OR = 0.48, 95% CI: 0.30, 0.75) and higher levels of soft drink consumption (OR = 1.84, 95% CI: 1.19, 2.84) were associated with insufficient sleep duration. However, no behavioral variables were associated with sleep quality and duration in the prospective analysis. The prevalence of self-reported poor sleep quality and duration were similar in the cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses. Some behaviors were associated with sleep patterns in the cross-sectional analyses, but these findings were not confirmed in the prospective analyses.

“…Still, available studies suggest that attachment and family environment impact sleep in adolescence. For instance, in a sample of Finnish 15-year-olds, youth perceptions of having a good home atmosphere was strongly correlated with self-reported sleep quality (Tynjala et al 1999). In studies conducted with college students, a cross-sectional link has been found between insecure attachment and poorer sleep functioning (McNamara et al 2001;Scharfe and Eldredge 2001).…”

Sleep problems in adolescence have been identified as an international public health issue. Over the past few decades, notable advances have been made in our understanding of the patterns and consequences of sleep in adolescence. Despite these important gains, there is much about the role of sleep in adolescence that remains to be understood. This Special Issue brings together studies that examine sleep as it specifically pertains to adolescent development and adjustment. In this introductory article, we argue for the importance of grounding the study of sleep and adolescence in developmental science and a developmental psychopathology framework. First, a review of the literature is used to outline a biopsychosocial and contextual model of sleep in adolescence. Second, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is used as an exemplar of the proposed model given the pervasiveness of sleep problems among youth with ADHD and the likelihood that sleep problems and ADHD symptoms are interconnected in complex ways. Finally, a brief introduction to the empirical articles included in the Special Issue is provided, with particular attention given to how these articles fit within the proposed biopsychosocial and contextual model. Along with the framework proposed in this article, the studies included in this Special Issue advance the current literature and point to critical directions for future research.

“…Existing cross-cultural examinations of adolescent sleep are scarce, 33 and there is only a modest collection of international studies on sleep quality during this developmental period. 3,[13][14][15][16][17] Using these reports to make cross-cultural comparisons has been difficult because of differences in operational definitions of sleep-related variables, sample sizes, measures, and administration procedures. Cultural comparisons are of intrinsic value, because they permit evaluation of the benefits and consequences of cultural practices.…”

“…31,32 Although there is a general appreciation of the importance of sleep-hygiene practices for good sleep quality, 32 very few studies have examined this relationship in adolescents, and these studies have assessed only selected aspects of sleep hygiene (eg, substance use, cognitive activation). 11,13,14,17,25 A better understanding of this relationship would support further development of programs to educate adolescents about good sleep habits.…”

The Relationship Between Reported Sleep Quality and Sleep Hygiene in Italian and American Adolescents

Objective-The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between self-reported sleep quality and sleep hygiene in Italian and American adolescents and to assess whether sleephygiene practices mediate the relationship between culture and sleep quality.Methods-Two nonprobability samples were collected from public schools in Rome, Italy, and Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Students completed the following self-report measures: Adolescent Sleep-Wake Scale, Adolescent Sleep Hygiene Scale, Pubertal Developmental Scale, and Morningness/Eveningness Scale.Results-The final sample included 776 Italian and 572 American adolescents 12 to 17 years old. Italian adolescents reported much better sleep hygiene and substantially better sleep quality than American adolescents. A moderate-to-strong linear relationship was found between sleep hygiene and sleep quality in both samples. Separate hierarchical multiple regression analyses were performed on both samples. Demographic and individual characteristics explained a significant proportion of the variance in sleep quality (Italians: 18%; Americans: 25%), and the addition of sleep-hygiene domains explained significantly more variance in sleep quality (Italians: 17%; Americans: 16%). A final hierarchical multiple regression analysis with both samples combined showed that culture (Italy versus United States) only explained 0.8% of the variance in sleep quality after controlling for sleep hygiene and all other variables.Conclusions-Cross-cultural differences in sleep quality, for the most part, were due to differences in sleep-hygiene practices. Sleep hygiene is an important predictor of sleep quality in Italian and American adolescents, thus supporting the implementation and evaluation of educational programs on good sleep-hygiene practices. Adolescence is a period characterized by important changes in cognitive, behavioral, social, and emotional functioning attributable to biological development (ie, puberty) and to new roles and demands in the familial and social milieu (eg, decreased parental involvement, increased academic requirements). There also are dramatic changes in sleep/wake patterns during adolescence, including a decrease in sleep duration, 1-3 a delay in the timing of sleep, 4,5 and an increasingly large discrepancy between weekday and weekend sleep patterns. 6-9 Sleep quality is reduced as well. 10 Community-and school-based studies conducted in Europe, Asia, and the United States suggest that between 6% and 37% of adolescents report difficulties on ≥1 of the following behavioral dimensions of sleep quality: going to bed, 11,12 falling asleep, 3,13-17 maintaining undisturbed sleep, 10,16-18 reinitiating sleep after nocturnal awakenings, 3,16,17 and returning to wakefulness in the morning. 7,9,15,17 Furthermore, up to 16% of adolescents are considered to have clinically significant insomnia. 16,19,20 There is ample evidence that inadequate sleep quantity and quality are linked to significant problems in several aspects of teenagers' lives. 5,8 Sleepiness ...
