“…Comparison of these data with those in other sleep studies revealed that Taiwanese adolescents slept as little as, or less than, those in other countries. For example, Yamaguchi et al [ 22 ] reported that most junior high adolescents in Japan received 6–8 hours of sleep on weekdays. Masalan et al [ 23 ] found that 44.2% of high school adolescents in Chile had sleeping disorders that were associated with environmental conditions (e.g.…”

Background: Amount of sleep is an important indicator of health and well-being in children and adolescents. Adequate sleep (AS: adequate sleep is defined as 6-8 hours per night regularly) is a critical factor in adolescent health and health-related behaviors. The present study was based on a health promotion project previously conducted on adolescents in Tao-Yuan County, Taiwan. The aim was to examine the relationship between AS during schooldays and excessive body weight, frequency of visiting doctors and health-related behaviors among Taiwanese adolescents.

“… 1 , 2 Due to the practical and economical aspects, self-reported sleeping habit questionnaires remain to be the most requested and widely used method. 3 , 4 Subjective sleep assessments, in our study daily sleep diaries, are agreeable for participants, require minimum supervision and can be easily completed. Objective methods, like actigraphy, provide accurate information on the sleep-wake patterns.…”

BACKGROUND: The validity of sleep quality and quantity indices as reported by schoolchildren has not been established. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between subjective sleep habits estimation and objective measurement data in schoolchildren. METHODS: The study consisted of 42 healthy junior high school children aged 13-14. Sleep log information was gathered over 7 consecutive days, using a sleep-monitoring device (Actiwatch ® ) and a questionnaire which covered the following aspects for sleep quality and quantity: bed time, sleep latency, sleep start, sleep end, wake up and assumed sleep length. The means of the sleep indices for 5 weekdays were used for analysis. Pearson’s correlation coefficients and paired t-tests were used to evaluate the correlation and difference between subjective and objective sleep parameters. RESULTS: The correlation coefficient between subjective and objective records was 0.49 (p<0.001) for sleep latency, 0.99 (p<0.001) for sleep start time, 0.99 (p<0.001) for sleep end time, and 0.97 (p<0.001) for assumed sleep length. The difference between subjective and objective records was 7.67 min (95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.64-10.71) for sleep latency, and 0:02 min (95% CI: −0:01-0:05) for sleep start time, 0:02 min (95% CI: 0:01-0:03) for sleep end time, and 8.19 min (95% CI: 4.93-11.45) for assumed sleep length. CONCLUSIONS: Although children tended to overestimate sleeping hours, the correlation between subjective and objective sleep indices except sleep latency was quite high. Thus, children’s sleep questionnaire can be applied to surveys for sleep habits screening.
