Abstract

Prevalence rates of nonrestorative sleep and excessive daytime sleepiness among Japanese adolescents were 54.9% and 39.4%, respectively.

  • Evening chronotype is associated with an increased likelihood of nonrestorative sleep and excessive daytime sleepiness.
  • Difficulty initiating sleep is linked to a higher risk of experiencing nonrestorative sleep.
  • Short sleep duration, specifically less than 5 hours or 5-6 hours, is associated with nonrestorative sleep.
  • Using electronic devices just before bedtime may contribute to both nonrestorative sleep and excessive daytime sleepiness.
  • Early morning awakening is associated with an increased likelihood of excessive daytime sleepiness.
