  • Description: Background Growing evidence suggests that sleep plays a crucial role in healthy adolescent development. Despite the potentially serious implications of inadequate sleep on the development and well-being of young individuals, to date, the daytime correlates of sleep disturbances in the adolescent population remains a relatively understudied and unappreciated area of investigation. Objectives The objective of this study was to investigate the associations between sleep disturbances and psychological and somatic symptoms in Canadian adolescents. Design/Methods Participants: 62 adolescents between the ages of 13–18 (M=14.76, SD=1.21). Insomnia symptoms and reported sleep disturbances were measured using the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), respectively. Psychological and somatic symptoms were measured using both the Youth Self-Report (YSR) and the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). Results Partial correlational analyses, adjusting for potential confounds of age and gender, revealed significant associations between ISI total scores and both the internalizing and somatic subscales of the YSR and CBCL. Significant associations were also found between the sleep disturbances subscale of the PSQI and the internalizing and externalizing subscales of the YSR, as well as the internalizing subscale of the CBCL. Conclusion Despite being understudied, there is a significant prevalence of daytime correlates of sleep disturbances among adolescents. Symptoms of insomnia and poor sleep quality are associated with both internalizing and somatic problems. As such, pediatricians and health care providers may benefit from considering sleep disturbances when assessing and/or treating psychological and somatic symptoms in adolescents.
