Abstract

During adolescence, peers gain a central role and with the availability of technology, socializing can occur around the clock. Very few studies have focused on the role of peers in adolescents' sleep using social network analyses. These analyses describe peer relationships and social positions in a defined context (e.g., school) based on friendship nominations. Adolescents who receive many nominations can be defined as “popular,” which has been found to have its costs (i.e., shorter sleep duration) but also benefits (i.e., fewer insomnia symptoms). The aim of this study was to partially replicate and expand previous findings in a large Swedish sample of adolescents.The sample included 1,394 adolescents (46% girls, Mage = 15.3, SD = 0.53, range 14–18) from 16 public schools in middle Sweden. Adolescents reported on their weekly sleep duration, insomnia symptoms, anxiety, depression, alcohol use, demographics, and nominated up to three friends in school. We used R to calculate outgoing nominations and incoming nominations. Linear regressions were used to examine the association between popularity and sleep, controlling for confounding variables (demographics, emotional problems). Finally, we explored sex differences.Controlling for confounders, popular adolescents reported shorter sleep duration (B = −3.00; 95% CI [−5.77, −0.19]), and popular girls reported more insomnia symptoms (B = 0.36; 95% CI [0.04, 0.68]). There were no significant associations found for boys.Popularity was linked to shorter sleep duration (up to −27 min for the most popular teens). Moreover, girls may pay a price for their popularity by experiencing more insomnia symptoms. Sex differences and potential mechanisms should be further explored.
爱睡又受欢迎?青少年受欢迎程度、睡眠时间和失眠之间的关系
在青春期,同龄人扮演着重要的角色,而且随着科技的发展,社交活动可以全天候进行。很少有研究通过社交网络分析来关注同伴在青少年睡眠中的作用。这些分析是根据友谊提名来描述特定环境(如学校)中的同伴关系和社会地位。获得许多提名的青少年可被定义为 "受欢迎的人",研究发现这有其代价(即睡眠时间缩短),但也有好处(即失眠症状较少)。本研究的目的是在瑞典青少年的大样本中部分复制和扩展之前的研究结果。样本包括来自瑞典中部 16 所公立学校的 1394 名青少年(46% 为女生,平均年龄 = 15.3,标准差 = 0.53,范围为 14-18 岁)。青少年报告了他们每周的睡眠时间、失眠症状、焦虑、抑郁、酗酒、人口统计学特征,并提名了最多三位在校好友。我们使用 R 来计算出提名和入选提名。在控制混杂变量(人口统计学、情绪问题)的情况下,我们使用线性回归分析了受欢迎程度与睡眠之间的关系。最后,我们探讨了性别差异。在控制了混杂变量后,受欢迎的青少年报告的睡眠时间较短(B = -3.00;95% CI [-5.77, -0.19]),而受欢迎的女孩报告的失眠症状较多(B = 0.36;95% CI [0.04, 0.68])。受欢迎程度与睡眠时间缩短有关(最受欢迎的青少年睡眠时间最短为-27分钟)。此外,女孩可能会为其受欢迎程度付出代价,出现更多失眠症状。性别差异和潜在机制有待进一步研究。
