Overview• Examine adolescent sleep behavior
• Review developmental changes of sleep-wake regulation
• Identify other factors that constrain teen sleep
• Introduce some behavioral challenges of insufficient sleep

Adolescent Sleep Behavior
• Bedtime becomes later
• Rise time becomes earlier (school dependent)
• Total amount of sleep is reduced

• Converging evidence indicates that optimal sleep for the average adolescent may be 9+ hours
• National Sleep Foundation borderline sleep = 8-9 hours
07/06/12 © M.A. Carskadon
12
Discrepancy
Adolescent sleep need, therefore, does not appear to parallel sleep obtained for many teens.
07/06/12 © M.A. Carskadon
13
Factors that Underlie the Discrepancy
• Developmental changes in sleep regulation– Circadian timing system– Sleep wake homeostasis
• Developmental changes in psychosocial context
• Parents and schools

26
What might cause phase delay?
• Changes in light exposure – Staying up later // more late light– Waking up later // less morning light
07/06/12 © M.A. Carskadon
27
What might cause phase delay?
• Changes in light exposure – Staying up later // more late light– Waking up later // less morning light
• Change in phase-dependent sensitivity to light exposure

28
What might cause phase delay?
• Changes in light exposure – Staying up later // more late light– Waking up later // less morning light
• Change in phase-dependent sensitivity to light exposure
• Lengthening of intrinsic circadian period (i.e., longer internal day length)

• Lack of parent-set bedtime // depression and suicidality (Gangwisch et al., Sleep, 2010)
• School start time: Earlier morning // less sleep // more sleepiness

Summary
• Sleep patterns change across adolescence
• Most teens sleep less than they need
• Most teens have irregular sleep schedule
• Many teens are in school too early
• Many teens are in school too underslept

Public Health Perspective: The Health Paradox of Adolescence
Adolescence is (physically) the healthiest period of the lifespan: Prior to adult declines; beyond the frailties of infancy and childhood:Improvements in strength, speed, reaction
time, reasoning abilities, immune function …Increased resistance to cold, heat, hunger,
dehydration, and most types of injury …Yet: Overall morbidity and mortality rates
increase 200% from childhood to late adolescence
07/06/12 © M.A. Carskadon
81
Morbidity & Mortality in Adolescence • Primary sources of death/disability are related to
problems with control of behavior and emotion• Increasing rates of accidents, suicide, homicide,
depression, alcohol & substance use, violence, reckless behaviors, eating disorders, STDs, health problems related to risky sexual behaviors… obesity
• Behaviors with long-term health (lifetime) consequences

Sleep: Sleep: Pubertal Changes in Pubertal Changes in Sleep Regulation? Sleep Regulation?
• Some developmental changes in sleep regulation appear to be linked to puberty :– Increased sleepiness – Some SWS and REM changes– Circadian/sleep changes
• Consider these biological changes in sleep tendencies, in earlier periods of human history…

Social factors in contemporary society contribute to
LATE bedtimes/sleep onset times:
• Peers and social activities • Greater freedom to self-select bedtimes • Access to light and stimulating activities • Stress/anxiety or excitement difficulty falling
asleep• Major circadian shift on weekends/vacation• Work, Sports, Homework, Projects, Meds...

Contributing Factors/Vicious Cycle
• “Catch-up” sleep on week-ends pushes circadian system to further delay
• Use of stimulants (caffeine and nicotine) can contribute to Difficulty Falling Asleep
• Stress and conflict contribute to emotional arousal and further Difficulty Falling Asleep

Example: Sleep & Anxiety in Early Adolescence
• Children with anxiety disorders enter adolescence with several additional vulnerabilities that can amplify both the causes and consequences of sleep problems: – increased vigilance– heightened physiological arousal– a predilection toward bedtime worries and ruminations – sensitivity to social rejection
• Anxiety as a risk factor for depression• Sleep deprivation as risk factor for depression • Depression rates soar during adolescence

SLEEPING TIGERS
• Thoughts, feelings, and behaviors at bedtime
• Individual motivation (Personal benefits of sleep)
• Good habits (day and night)
• Establishing a regular schedule
• Restricting media use at night (TV, internet, iPod, etc.)
• Savoring and Switching

Insufficient Sleep in the Adolescent
• Framing the Importance & Value of Sleep– Examining the negative consequences
• School, attention, mood, social, appearance• Risk for tragic outcomes
– Emphasizing the positive• Feeling better, looking better, working toward goals
• Targeting the Enemies to Good Sleep– Late night activities, caffeine, WEEK-ENDS
AND HOLIDAY SCHEDULES

A Small Set of Biological Changes at Puberty Can Lead to a Spiral of Negative Effects
• Late night/erratic schedules Sleep Deprivation
erodes mood and motivation
greater stress and affective problems
interferes further w sleep/arousal regulation
greater difficulty falling asleep
• Social context that amplifies the biologic change a torrential spiral?
