Adolescence is a very important developmental period because the trajectory for adult health and quality of life begins at an early age. An important health-related factor is sleep, and the objective of this project is to examine whether sleep quality and duration play a role in adolescent health, growth and development by analyzing data from a nationally representative sample of U.S. adolescents. The first specific aim was to test the hypothesis that sleep is related to health. Sleep duration significantly predicted general health status, depressive symptoms (CES-D) and emotional distress, even after controlling for many covariates including socioeconomic status (SES). Shorter sleep duration was associated with worse health. Results indicated a gender difference in the association between sleep and body mass index (BMI). Among males, shorter sleep durations are associated with larger BMI z-scores and greater risk of being overweight. No significant association existed among females. The second specific aim tested the hypothesis that the relationship between SES and health is mediated by sleep. The results indicated that higher SES was significantly associated with shorter sleep duration and more sleep problems, as represented by insomnia, trouble waking and insufficient sleep. This is in the opposite direction as hypothesized, thus sleep does not appear to mediate the association between SES and health in this sample. The third specific aim was to examine the relationship between sleep and growth and development. Gender differences were again observed. Sleep problems were only associated with pubertal stage in females, as represented by self-reported breast and curvaceous body descriptions. Higher pubertal stage was associated with increased risk. Sleep duration, however, was significantly associated with pubertal stage in males but not females. Higher pubertal stage in males was associated, with shorter sleep durations. Menarche was significantly associated with both increased sleep problems and reduced sleep durations. There was no clear association between self-reported height velocity and sleep duration. The results indicate that sleep does have some association with health among adolescents. Furthermore, quality of sleep appears to decrease with pubertal development among females, while sleep duration decreases with pubertal development among males.
