Stress and Sleep in Adolescence: A Clinical-Developmental Perspective

Daily Variation in Adolescents' Sleep, Activities, and Psychological Well‐Being

“…Likewise, the perception of stressful demands from the three most important domains in adolescents' lives-family, peers, and school-can create a degree of arousal that makes it difficult for adolescents to sleep. Similar to the results obtained in other studies of adults and adolescents, therefore, demanding and stressful activities during the day can interfere with teenagers' ability to obtain adequate rest each night and can result in chronically lower amounts of sleep over time (Sadeh & Gruber, 2002). Nevertheless, it should be acknowledged that in the case of studying, adolescents who are sleepy may study less that night.…”

“…In the analyses described in this paper, we examined the relevance of six different types of activities and experiences for adolescents' sleep patterns. Studying, socializing with friends, and stressful demands have been suggested in prior survey research to be associated with adolescents' sleep time (Carskadon, 2002;Sadeh & Gruber, 2002). These are common activities and experiences during the adolescent years and can either compete with the time available for sleeping or arouse teenagers to a level that makes it difficult to relax at bedtime.…”

The Somnolent Youth-Sleep and the Influence of Exercise: A Narrative Review

“…Social opportunities and peer group influences are also touted to have an effect on adolescent sleep patterns [76], as the pressure to develop relationships during this phase of life is of particular pertinence [77]. The prevalent use of the Internet and online social media during the night may cause delays to bedtimes and shorten sleep durations [78,79]. Recently, more attention has also been given to the impact of stimulant use, in particular caffeine and energy drinks, on adolescent sleep patterns [80][81][82].…”
