    Adolescent sleep duration and quality decline with age, with girls sleeping more than boys. Sleep issues in teens can stem from normal changes and social pressures.

    Area of Science:

    • Adolescent medicine
    • Sleep science
    • Public health

    Background:

    • Adolescent sleep patterns are crucial for development and well-being.
    • Understanding sleep changes during adolescence is essential for identifying potential health issues.
    • Previous research indicates a general decline in sleep duration with age.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate sleep duration, quality, and adequacy in urban high school students.
    • To examine age- and gender-related differences in adolescent sleep.
    • To identify the prevalence of sleep medication and alcohol use at bedtime among adolescents.

    Main Methods:

    • A sleep questionnaire was administered to 390 students (ages 12-18) at an urban high school.
    • Data collected included total sleep hours per week, sleep quality, perceived sleep adequacy, and substance use.

  • Statistical analysis was used to compare sleep parameters across age groups and genders.

    • Main Results:

    • Total sleep hours per week decreased significantly between ages 12 and 18.
    • Girls generally reported sleeping more hours than boys.
    • Sleep quality and perceived adequacy declined with increasing age.
    • 4.6% of students reported occasional sleep medication use, and 10.5% reported alcohol use at bedtime.

    Conclusions:

    • Adolescent sleep problems are common and appear to be influenced by both normal physiological changes and social pressures.
    • The findings highlight a need for interventions to address declining sleep health in adolescents.
    • Both normative developmental changes and external stressors contribute to sleep disturbances in this age group.
