Abstract

SummaryThe present study examined dream habits, and their relation to sleep patterns, in 1151 preteens (597 boys; 554 girls; 11.31 ± 0.62 years old). Dream questionnaires assessed the frequency of dream recall, nightmare, and lucid dream, as well as the intensity of emotions experienced in dreams. Sleep variables included sleep duration and efficiency, but also different measurements of nocturnal awakenings. Among the preteens, 49.21% of them reported that they recalled dreams several times a week or almost every morning over the past few months. In addition, 52.00% of the preteens reported that they experienced nightmares, and 45.48% lucid dreams, less than once a month or never over the past few months. No gender differences were observed in dream variables. Nocturnal awakenings were linked to all dream variables, while sleep duration and sleep efficiency were related to nightmare frequency and emotions in dreams. Importantly, sleep duration and sleep efficiency were not associated with dream recall nor lucid dream frequency, with Bayesian analyses supporting the null hypothesis. These findings offer a comprehensive understanding of preteens’ dreams and their connection to key sleep aspects.

大量青少年的做梦习惯及其与睡眠和夜间觉醒的关系

摘要本研究调查了 1151 名青少年（597 名男孩；554 名女孩；11.31 ± 0.62 岁）的做梦习惯及其与睡眠模式的关系。梦境问卷评估了梦境回忆、噩梦和清醒梦的频率，以及梦境中情感体验的强度。睡眠变量包括睡眠持续时间和效率，以及对夜间觉醒的不同测量。49.21% 的青少年表示，在过去几个月里，他们每周都会做几次梦，或者几乎每天早上都会做梦。此外，52.00% 的青少年表示他们在过去几个月中做过噩梦，45.48% 的青少年表示他们在过去几个月中每月少于一次或从未做过清晰的梦。在梦境变量方面没有观察到性别差异。夜醒与所有梦境变量有关，而睡眠时间和睡眠效率则与噩梦频率和梦境中的情绪有关。重要的是，睡眠时间和睡眠效率与梦境回忆和清醒梦频率无关，贝叶斯分析支持零假设。这些研究结果有助于全面了解青少年的梦境及其与主要睡眠方面的联系。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Sleep Research is dedicated to basic and clinical sleep research. The Journal publishes original research papers and invited reviews in all areas of sleep research (including biological rhythms). The Journal aims to promote the exchange of ideas between basic and clinical sleep researchers coming from a wide range of backgrounds and disciplines. The Journal will achieve this by publishing papers which use multidisciplinary and novel approaches to answer important questions about sleep, as well as its disorders and the treatment thereof.
