Adolescence is a vulnerable period of growth and development. This is the time when habits are inculcated which will carry forward to adult life. Sleeping patterns among adolescents have an impact on their overall health. Early substance use initiation is a serious concern because it is associated with significantly increased risks for developing substance use disorders. In general, aggressive behaviors progress from less to more severe over the course of adolescent development.
The objectives of this study are to determine the lifestyle behaviors of young adolescents focusing on sleep pattern, aggressive behavior, and substance use.
A cross-sectional study was conducted among 739 students of Class VII and VIII in both government and private schools in Imphal West and Kangpokpi districts of Manipur between August 27 and September 25, 2017. A pretested, structured questionnaire was used, which included the modified version of Buss and Perry Aggression Questionnaire. The data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS software (IBM SPSS for Windows, Version 21.0. Armonk, NY, USA).
Only 56.2% of the students had adequate sleep. The proportion of adolescents using alcohol, tobacco, cigarettes, and Ganja was 4.6%, 9.5%, 5.7%, and 1.6%, respectively. Aggressive behavior was shown by 35.3%. Male students were getting more sleep (60.7%), were more aggressive (38.8%), and were using tobacco and cigarettes (82.4%) more than female students.
Around two-fifth of the adolescents were not getting enough sleep. The association between aggressive behavior and substance use was found but needs further investigation for its temporal relationship.
青春期是生长和发育的脆弱时期。这是养成习惯的时期，这些习惯将延续到成年生活。青少年的睡眠模式对他们的整体健康有影响。早期物质使用的开始是一个严重的问题，因为它与发展物质使用障碍的风险显著增加有关。一般来说，攻击行为在青少年发展过程中从较轻到较严重逐渐发展。
本研究的目的是确定青少年的生活方式行为，重点是睡眠模式、攻击行为和物质使用。
在 2017 年 8 月 27 日至 9 月 25 日期间，在曼尼普尔邦因帕尔西部和康波克皮区的政府和私立学校的 739 名 7 至 8 年级学生中进行了横断面研究。使用了经过预测试的结构化问卷，其中包括改良版的 Buss 和 Perry 攻击问卷。使用 IBM SPSS 软件（IBM SPSS for Windows，版本 21.0，Armonk，NY，USA）对数据进行分析。
只有 56.2%的学生有足够的睡眠。使用酒精、烟草、香烟和大麻的青少年比例分别为 4.6%、9.5%、5.7%和 1.6%。表现出攻击行为的青少年比例为 35.3%。男生比女生获得更多的睡眠（60.7%）、更具攻击性（38.8%），并且使用烟草和香烟的比例更高（82.4%）。
大约五分之二的青少年没有得到足够的睡眠。发现攻击行为和物质使用之间存在关联，但需要进一步调查其时间关系。
