“…Extant findings point to the importance of additional studies in this area. Adolescents with sleep problems report experiencing more loneliness than adolescents without sleep problems (Mahon 1994;Xu et al 2012), and young adolescents with a history of chronic loneliness report more sleep problems than their peers (Harris et al 2013). In a 12-month longitudinal study, Roberts et al (2002) found that youth with high levels of sleep problems experienced greater problems in their peer relationships, even after controlling for initial levels of peer functioning.…”

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.

Objectives: Poor subjective sleep quality in primary care has not been widely studied in Nigeria; hence this study was aimed to evaluate the subjective sleep quality and to find the association with blood pressure, depression and body mass index.Methodology: Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire was administered. Good sleep quality was defined as PSQI less than 5. The level of depression was assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaires (PHQ-9). Results:The sample consisted of 400 subjects in the age group 18-70years. The overall mean age did 48.0 + 13.2 years, with the age group 41-50years constitute 29.5% of the studied subjects. Whilst 240 (60%) had normal blood pressure, 29(7.5%) had stage 1 and 43 (10.8%) had stage 2 hypertension. One hundred and thirty eight (34.5%) had normal weight, while 108 (27.0%) were obese. Overall sleep quality was very good, fairly good, fairly bad, and very bad in, 30.8%, 33.2%, 19.5%, and 16.5% of the respondents respectively. The prevalence of poor sleep quality was 44.0%. There was strong statistical association between poor sleep quality, blood pressure (p-value 0.002), depression (p-value 0.000) and body mass index (p-value 0.05). Conclusion:A substantial proportion of the subjects had poor sleep quality associated with high blood pressure, increased body mass index and depression.

Introduction: This descriptive study has been made in order to evaluate the factors which affect the sleep habit and quality of Balıkesir University Health College students. Method: The study was carried out between 23 March and 15 April 2017. Students who receive education in nursing and midwifery departments of Balikesir University Health College have taken part in the research. Nursing students took the survey, formed by researchers by reviewing the literature, in classroom environment. Descriptive analysis was made and continuous data were compared with student-t and ANOVA tests. Results: The average age of the students in this study is 21.4 ± 1.8 and 84.1% of students are female and 65.7% of students are nursing students. 37.6% of students taken part in this study stated that their academic achievement is good, 69.7% of students said their incomes and expenses are equal and 65.9% of students expressed that they stay in dorm. It is determined that 62.7 of students have poor sleep quality according to the students ' PUKI points average. It has been found out that 51.4% of the students wake up at the least once at night, 18.7% lived sleep problem in the past and 51% sleep 6-7 hours at night. Students who are in the first class degree, who state their academic achievement is bad, students who have gastrointestinal discomfort in the last month who and have acute infection and psychological problem have meaningfully higher PUKİ points averages than students who are not at the first grade, who state their academic achievement is very good, students who didn't have gastrointestinal discomfort in the last month and students who didn't live acute infection and psychological problem (p < 0.05) Also students who smoke/use alcohol, drink more than five cups of coffee/tea per day, wake up at the least once time at night, had sleep problem in the past, are always late for lessons and eat something before sleep have meaningfully higher PUKİ points averages statistically than students who don't smoke/use alcohol, don't drink more than five cups of coffee/tea per day, don't wake up at night, didn't live sleep problem in the past, are not late for the lessons and don't eat something before sleep(p < 0.05). Conclusion: It is determined that students have significant sleep problems; class, academic achievement, physical and psychological discomfort, using cigarette/alcohol, tea consumption, having sleep problems at night, waking up without rest and snacking before bed are related to sleep quality. It is advised to inform nursing and midwifery students, who are taking health discipline education, about importance of sleep and factors related to sleep quality.
