DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): School-based preventive health education is considered a critical step in the goal to improve children and adolescents' health and to develop lifelong healthy habits. One health enhancing behavior - the development of consistent sleep habits - has received little attention from public health and school officials, despite the knowledge that sleep plays a critical role in effective daytime functioning. Over the past two decades, laboratory data has demonstrated that adolescents across the middle and high school years have an increased need for sleep and experience a phase delay during puberty. Survey and field studies, however, indicate that adolescents obtain less sleep than do younger children. School schedules, extracurricular hours, and other environmental constraints are not beneficial to young adolescents sleep schedules and requirements. In fact, teenagers develop a sleep dept by getting a minimal amount of sleep on school nights and making up for this by sleeping extra on the weekends. As a result of this sleep dept, adolescents may be frequently absent or late for school, sleepy and moody during school hours, inattentive during class time, unable to do their best academically, and prone to accidents and injuries. Remarkably, despite the general agreement among health professionals that health habits need to be taught early in life, few schools include sleep hygiene as part of their health education curricula. The aim of this proposal is to examine the effectiveness of a school-based preventive, sleep education program for improving the quantity and quality of young adolescents' sleep/wake schedules. The three specific aims of the study are as follows: (1) To examine the effectiveness of a sleep education program to teach young adolescents healthy sleep habits; (2) To examine the impact of improved sleep patterns on academic performance and attendance; and (3) To examine potential mediators (e.g., behavior, health) on these relationships.

描述（由申请人提供）：基于学校的预防性健康教育被认为是改善儿童和青少年健康并养成终身健康习惯的关键步骤。一种健康增强的行为 - 发展一致的睡眠习惯的发展 - 尽管知道睡眠在有效的白天运作中起着至关重要的作用，但很少受到公共卫生和学校官员的关注。在过去的二十年中，实验室数据表明，中学和高中年的青少年对睡眠的需求增加，并在青春期期间经历阶段延迟。但是，调查和现场研究表明，青少年的睡眠比年幼的孩子少。学校时间表，课外时间和其他环境限制对年轻青少年的睡眠时间表和要求无益。实际上，青少年通过在上学的夜晚获得最少的睡眠，并在周末额外睡觉来弥补这一问题。由于这个睡眠部门，青少年在上课时可能经常或迟到，上课时间不集中，无法在学术上做最好的，并且容易发生事故和伤害。值得注意的是，尽管卫生专业人员之间达成了普遍的共识，即在生命的早期需要教授健康习惯，但很少有学校将睡眠卫生作为其健康教育课程的一部分。该提案的目的是研究基于学校的预防性，睡眠教育计划的有效性，以改善年轻青少年睡眠/唤醒时间表的数量和质量。该研究的三个具体目的如下：（1）检查睡眠教育计划的有效性，以教年轻的青少年健康的睡眠习惯； （2）检查改善睡眠模式对学习成绩和出勤的影响； （3）检查这些关系的潜在介体（例如行为，健康）。
