“…Further, adolescents who reduced their television watching from 1 h or longer to less than 1 h per day experienced a notable reduction in later sleep problems. Among Japanese adolescents, mobile phone use after ''lights out'' is associated with a host of sleep indices, including shorter sleep duration, poorer sleep quality, excessive daytime sleepiness, and insomnia symptoms (Munezawa et al 2011). In a longitudinal study of Belgian adolescents, mobile phone use for sending/ receiving calls or text messages after ''lights out'' was associated with at least a twofold risk of self-reporting feeling very tired 1 year later (Van den Bulck 2007).…”

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.

“…The use of multiple electronic devices at the same time has been associated with less sleep at night and a greater degree of sleepiness during the daytime. 4,15,31,42,43 Having a television in the bedroom (or even out of the bedroom) has been associated with later bedtimes on weekdays, longer sleep latencies, shorter total sleep times, later wakeup times on the weekends, and more daytime sleepiness in adolescents. [44][45][46] In the Children in the Community Study in 1976, 47 adolescents who were watching 3 or more hours of television not only experienced difficulty falling asleep and frequent awakenings but also had a risk of having difficulties with their sleep later in adolescence and young adulthood.…”

Chronic sleep loss and associated sleepiness and daytime impairments in adolescence are a serious threat to the academic success, health, and safety of our nation’s youth and an important public health issue. Understanding the extent and potential short- and long-term repercussions of sleep restriction, as well as the unhealthy sleep practices and environmental factors that contribute to sleep loss in adolescents, is key in setting public policies to mitigate these effects and in counseling patients and families in the clinical setting. This report reviews the current literature on sleep patterns in adolescents, factors contributing to chronic sleep loss (ie, electronic media use, caffeine consumption), and health-related consequences, such as depression, increased obesity risk, and higher rates of drowsy driving accidents. The report also discusses the potential role of later school start times as a means of reducing adolescent sleepiness.

“…Parents should also require that youth and adolescents "turn in" their phones and devices at the end of the night. It has been well documented that adolescents use technology well into the evening hours, which interferes with both their sleep onset and sleep maintenance (e.g., Van den Bulck, 2007;Munezawa, et al, 2011). Many adolescents sleep with the phones close to their bed or under their pillow and wake up after sleep onset to read and answer texts (Adams, & Kisler, 2013).…”

Digital technology use is an integral part of children's and adolescent's lives. With the rapid evolution of technology, adult caregivers can easily feel overwhelmed by the daunting task of setting boundaries on technology use. Family systems theory offers a unique perspective for understanding how external factors (i.e., technology) can impede or enhance the family system, particularly when integrated into a developmental framework. Five clinical concepts are presented that weave together developmental tasks and family systems theory. This paper offers recommendations for clinicians to help parents understand the potentially harmful consequences of technology use across the developmental spectrum. We also provide recommendations for how to support parents in discussing technology use with their children and adolescents. Lastly, we offer suggestions for how the impact of technology use on development can be integrated into human service courses at the university level.
