Abstract
In a study of 796 adolescents aged 12-16, social jetlag (SJL) was negatively related to academic achievement and cognitive abilities.
- Adolescents experience circadian misalignment, with undersleeping on weekdays and oversleeping on weekends.
- Time spent in bed on weekdays was linked to academic achievement, while weekend sleep duration did not show a similar connection.
- SJL was associated with lower academic performance and cognitive abilities, excluding vocabulary and verbal fluency.
- Morningness-eveningness (M-E) was slightly positively related to academic achievement but marginally negatively related to inductive reasoning.
- Girls appeared to be more adversely affected by SJL, showing a stronger negative relationship with cognitive abilities and GPA.
