Sleep is a critical component of healthy development for youth, with cascading effects on youth's biological growth, psychological well-being, and overall functioning. Increased sleep difficulties are one of many disruptions that adopted youth may face throughout the adoption process. Sleep difficulties have been frequently cited as a major concern by adoptive parents and hypothesized in the literature as a problem that may affect multiple areas of development and functioning in adopted youth. However, there is limited research exploring this relationship. Using a biopsychosocial framework, this paper reviews the extant literature to explore the development, maintenance, and impact of sleep difficulties in adopted youth. Finally, implications for future research and clinical interventions are outlined.
睡眠是青少年健康成长的关键组成部分，对青少年的生物生长、心理健康和整体机能有着连锁反应。睡眠困难加剧是被收养青少年在整个收养过程中可能面临的诸多干扰之一。睡眠困难一直是养父母经常提到的主要担忧，并且在文献中被假设为一个可能影响被收养青少年多个发展和机能领域的问题。然而，探索这种关系的研究有限。本文采用生物心理社会框架，回顾现有文献，以探讨被收养青少年睡眠困难的发展、维持及影响。最后，概述了对未来研究和临床干预的启示。
