Social Jetlag Impacts Youth Mental Health
A recent study has shown that the social time gap between students' sleep during school days and weekends leads to increased levels of anxiety among adolescents aged 12 to 18. After analyzing 12 studies involving over 235,000 teenagers, researchers concluded that sleep schedule disruptions negatively impact their mental health. Adolescents experience a delayed biological clock and tend to sleep longer during weekends to compensate for sleep deficits accumulated during the school week. The study called for the importance of maintaining regular sleep and wake times throughout the week, as well as reevaluating the start times of high school classes to better align with teenagers' sleep needs.
