Objectives During adolescence, changes in the circadian and homeostatic systems, combined with psychosocial factors, create a phase delay in the sleep of adolescents. These changes in sleep are associated with increased sleep difficulties and a shortened sleep duration, which has a negative impact on daytime functioning of adolescents. Some studies...

Introduction Studies have shown that sleep in adolescents is characterized by sleep disturbances. Many teens resort to prescribed or nonprescribed medication to alleviate their sleep difficulties. Research suggests that sport and physical activity may be protective factors regarding sleep. The aims of the present study were to investigate the use o...

Introduction Recent studies have shown that chronotype is associated with personality in adolescents. Other studies suggest that athletes are more conscientious, and that this personality trait is associated with higher academic performance among adolescents. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between personality, chro...
Article
Introduction Research suggests that young athletes may present different levels of perfectionism, which affect sport and academic performances. Sleep is also a variable that can affects grades. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between personal standards (PS) perfectionism, sleep and school performance in young athlet...
Article
Introduction As they grow older, adolescents tend to go to bed later, but still wake-up early to go to school during weekdays. It has also been found that boys and girls have different sleep habits. However, few studies have looked at the changes in these sleep habits in both genders across adolescence. This was the aim of the present study. Metho...
Article
Introduction Caffeine consumption is increasing in adolescents, particularly due to the gaining popularity of energy drinks. Yet, much more research is needed to better understand the motivation underlying these consumption habits and the impact of caffeine on sleep and daytime functioning in teenagers. The purpose of this study is to examine the a...

Introduction Many teenagers are reporting sleep difficulties and are complaining about daytime sleepiness. Those complaints could be explained by different factors impacting sleep/wake patterns during adolescence. School start times, homework, social activities and sport enrolment are some of the constraints that can decrease adolescents’ sleep. Th...
Article
Introduction Researchers have shown that during adolescence, sleep goes through modifications, such as a delay in the sleep-wake patterns. This comes into conflict with the fixed schedules imposed by social and school demands and therefore has an influence on teenagers’ sleepiness and daytime functioning. Whether boys and girls report similar negat...

During teenage years, sleep is characterized by a delay in sleep-wake patterns that can lead to a sleep debt and daytime sleepiness. This study aims to explore the possible associations between teens’ enjoyment during physical a...

... The prioritisation of sleep over other activities also reduces the occasions for positive emotional situations.The appropriate modification of emotion-eliciting situations (situation modification) may also be compromised by poor sleep, as it interferes with decision-making, impulse control, and social interactions. Nonetheless, these effects are primarily investigated as a reduction in social activities and difficulties in social interactions (e.g.,Forest et al., 2022), while investigations on sleep in relation to explicit avoidance or modification of a situation are lacking(Palmer & Alfano, 2017). ...
... It was reported that individuals with the eveningness chronotype have more psychological and psychosomatic disorders (Ong et al. 2021). Also, phonetablet use, smoking, caffeine and alcohol consumption, both as a result of SJL and as a risk factor that worsens SJL, appear as a very important danger in eveningness chronotypes (Lang et al. 2018, Isabelle-Nolet et al. 2019). ...
... Reasons for these sex differences may be related to the higher need for sleep in teenage girls than boys, as recent evidence suggests that adolescent girls are more vulnerable to insufficient sleep. 13,39 In contrast to our predictions, we found HR was not higher in adolescents with insomnia but, rather, we highlighted a nonsignificant trend with lower sleeping HR in girls with insomnia than their healthy peers. Such unexpected findings should be better investigated in larger samples covering the spectrum of clinically relevant insomnia and accounting for other confounders potentially contributing to HR profiles, 40 such as physical fitness levels. ...
