Included adolescents aged 11–19 years with non-suicidal self-injury.
Reviewed cross-sectional and longitudinal studies for data extraction and quality assessment.
Calculated pooled estimates using random-effects models.
The pooled prevalence of sleep disturbances among adolescents with NSSI was found to be 41%.
Female sex and depression were significant risk factors associated with sleep disturbances, with odds ratios of 1.74 and 1.05, respectively.
Emotional neglect and externalizing problems were not significantly linked to sleep disturbances.
