Research updates in the relationship between adolescent social jetlag and mental health

Adolescence is the transition period from childhood to adulthood, and it is also an important period for physical and mental health development. Social jetlag is the absolute difference between the midpoint of sleep on rest days and the midpoint of sleep on weekdays, which is a new indicator of circadian rhythm disorders. It has been demonstrated that social jetlag is associated with mental health problems in adolescents, and reducing social jetlag is beneficial to adolescents’ mental health. This paper briefly describes the definition of social jetlag and its epidemoiology among adolescents, elaborates the possible mechanism between social jetlag and mental health, and provides a theoretical basis for the prevention and control of mental health problems in adolescents with social jetlag. 【摘要】 青少年时期是童年期向成年期过渡的阶段, 同时也是青少年生长发育和心理发展的重要时期。社会时差是休息 日睡眠中点时间与工作日睡眠中点时间的绝对差值, 是反应昼夜节律紊乱的一种新型指标。有研究证明, 青少年社会时差 与心理健康问题存在关联性, 减小社会时差有益于青少年心理健康。本文简述了青少年社会时差及其流行状况, 阐述社会 时差与心理健康之间的可能机制, 为青少年社会时差在预防控制心理健康问题时提供理论依据。
