Abstract:
Sleep is necessary for all aspects of health, yet up to half of teenagers globally do not get enough sleep, or sleep that is of sufficient quality. While evidence-based management strategies and treatments are available, access remains limited. There has been a proliferation in the development of digital tools and programs addressing adolescent sleep problems in recent years. This review provides a synthesis of the current literature on assessment, treatment, and digital interventions for adolescent sleep, outlining key challenges and areas for future research needed to advance this field of knowledge and practice.
