Overview

Cross-sectional analysis examines sociodemographic factors affecting sleep health in early adolescents, suggesting a need for interventions.

Key Points

  • The study aims to explore the associations between sociodemographic factors and various dimensions of sleep health in early adolescents.
  • Analyzed cross-sectional data from Year 3 of the US Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study.
  • Examined associations using multiple linear regression models for sleep metrics derived from the Munich Chronotype Questionnaire.
  • Evaluated interactions with race/ethnicity, household income, and parental education.
  • Among 10,082 adolescents, average sleep duration was 8.9 hours, with substantial disparities noted.
  • Older age and being gay/bisexual correlated with shorter sleep duration and greater social jet lag.
  • Black, Latino/Hispanic, and Native American adolescents showed poorer sleep outcomes, especially in higher-income households.
