Depression is the leading health disorder in adolescence and often manifests itself as sleeping problems. A number of quantitative analyses have assessed the quality of adolescents' sleeping, but there is still a lack of information on how adolescents themselves perceive their sleeping behavior.
Using a mixed-methods approach, we describe sleeping behaviors and sleeping habits among adolescents with depressive disorders, who have been referred to psychiatric outpatient services.
Adolescents monitored their own sleeping patterns (n = 13) and reported on them through self-reflecting writings (n = 16) on a web-based support system for one week. They went to bed to about 23:00, remained awake for around 40 minutes, slept eight and a half hours, woke up at 9:00, and described themselves as being tired after the night. Adolescents were able to self-reflect on their sleeping in various ways and find meanings and interpretations of it.
The results contribute valuable information to health care personnel who work with adolescents, for example school nurses and mental health professionals. More emphasis should be put on adolescents' perceptions of their sleeping behavior and how to increase their insight into their own wellbeing.
抑郁症是青少年主要的健康问题，且常表现为睡眠问题。一些定量分析评估了青少年的睡眠质量，但仍缺乏关于青少年自身如何看待其睡眠行为的信息。
我们采用混合方法，描述了被转介到精神科门诊服务的患有抑郁症的青少年的睡眠行为和睡眠习惯。
青少年监测了自己的睡眠模式（n = 13），并通过在基于网络的支持系统上进行一周的自我反思写作（n = 16）来报告睡眠情况。他们大约在23:00上床睡觉，保持清醒约40分钟，睡八个半小时，9:00醒来，并表示夜间后感觉疲惫。青少年能够以各种方式对自己的睡眠进行自我反思，并找到其意义和解读。
这些结果为与青少年打交道的医护人员（如学校护士和心理健康专业人员）提供了有价值的信息。应更加重视青少年对其睡眠行为的看法以及如何增强他们对自身幸福感的洞察力。
