Adolescent sleep is typically poor in duration and quality. Sleep duration and quality reduce to suboptimal levels, and sleep duration variability and latency increases during adolescence.[1] Sleep recommendations suggest that adolescents should obtain 8–10 hours of sleep per night. Additionally, there is a shift in the body's circadian rhythm such that sleep and wake timings become later during adolescence.[2] Technology, social factors, and physical development are thought to contribute to poor sleep during this time. Poor sleep duration and quality in adolescents has been linked with altered brain functioning and development, poor mental and physical health, as well as higher rates of disease and mortality.[3] The concerns surrounding poor sleep during adolescence has garnered significant public attention, especially concerning policies related to school start times.[4] Many evidences suggest that sleep contributes positively to attention, behavior, and academic achievement for adolescents.[5]
