“…The explanation for these differences could be the hormonal component of growth maturation. Sex hormones, estrogen, and progesterone, primarily in females, as well as testosterone, mostly in males, have been shown to have a certain influence on sleep quality [ 11 ]. Their levels change at different stages of life, with significant increases happening during puberty.…”

“…Nevertheless, there are conflicting results when it comes to understanding if sleep health differs between boys and girls in childhood. It is uncertain whether one gender is more or less likely to experience problems with children’s sleep [ 11 ] and that causes the necessity of further investigation regarding this issue. It still remains unknown whether there are differences or variations in the way that sex affects the interaction between physical activity and sleep quality.…”

“… Werling and Geschwind, 2013 ). On the other hand, sleep disturbances appear to be more common in female with ASD ( Elkhatib Smidt et al, 2021 ). Prior work with the Cntnap2 KO mouse model found clear evidence for sex difference in home cage activity with robust hypo-activity in the males but not in the females ( Angelakos et al, 2019 ).…”

“…Sleep duration was significantly longer in girls and children compared to boys and adolescents, respectively, which aligns with other empirical accelerometry studies [ 16 , 24 , 58 ] and a 2018 meta-analysis of accelerometer-assessed sleep [ 59 ]. A recent narrative review however, concluded that the direction of sex differences in children’s and adolescents’ sleep duration is equivocal and largely influenced by methodological differences and participant characteristics [ 60 ]. Age-related differences in sleep are more consistent [ 59 ] and reflect the delay in the 24-hour rest-activity rhythm sleep phase during adolescence (i.e., by later sleep and waking times [ 24 , 25 ]).…”
