Introduction: Adolescents often engage in sedentary behavior and encounter sleep problems. Numerous studies have shown that both sedentary behavior and sleep problems negatively impact physical and mental health among adolescents. However, no studies exist that systematically summarize empirical findings of sedentary behavior and sleep problems on adolescents. The purpose of this systematic review was to explore empirical findings concerning the associations between sedentary behavior and sleep on adolescents. Methods: Major electronic databases in English and Chinese were searched from January 2015 to January 2019. Nineteen quantitative studies met the criteria for reporting the association between sedentary behavior and sleep on adolescents. Results: Among 19 articles, the modes of sedentary behavior were mainly TV watching and computer/internet use (7 studies each). There were 4 studies including non-screen sedentary behavior (non-screen telephone, reading, doing homework, listening to music, chatting, or playing cards). Total sedentary behavior or total screen behavior were collected in 10 studies. Regarding the measures of sleep, only 1 study used objective measure (actigraphy) and the others were self-reported. The sleep parameters included sleep duration (12 studies), sleep onset latency (4 studies), sleep disturbance/awakening (4 studies), delayed bedtime (3 studies), and insomnia (3 studies). A few studies mentioned sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, or sleep efficiency. Conclusion: Adolescents who spent more time on sedentary behavior (especially computer and internet use) had higher risks of insufficient sleep duration, sleep disturbance, insomnia, and delayed bedtime. No conclusion could be made about the association between sedentary behavior types and sleep efficiency, sleep quality, daytime sleepiness and/or fatigue due to limited research. Future research should investigate the associations between different modes of objectively derived sedentary behavior and various sleep parameters with experimental and longitudinal study design to better understand the mechanisms of associations and the impacts of sedentary behavior on sleep problems and wider health outcomes. |
