In this literature review, we discuss the importance of adequate sleep and the various effects of suboptimal sleep on weight maintenance and metabolic health specifically for adolescents. Two major contributors to adolescents experiencing decreased sleep duration and quality, and thus increasing the risk for developing metabolic syndrome in adolescence as well as later in adulthood, are increased electronic screen time particularly at night and early school start times. The less time adolescents spend sleeping, the less quality sleep they obtain, and the greater the disruption of endocrine hormone function. As another consequence, adolescents are more prone to making poor food choices, from choosing relatively nutrient-poor foods to consuming excess calories without necessarily increasing their energy expenditure. These choices put adolescents at greater risk for becoming obese throughout their lifespan.
在这篇文献综述中，我们讨论了充足睡眠的重要性，以及睡眠不足对青少年体重维持和代谢健康的各种影响。青少年睡眠时间和质量下降，从而增加在青春期以及成年后期患代谢综合征风险的两个主要因素是电子屏幕使用时间增加，尤其是在夜间，以及上学开始时间过早。青少年睡眠的时间越少，获得的高质量睡眠就越少，内分泌激素功能的紊乱就越大。另一个后果是，青少年更容易做出不良的食物选择，从选择营养相对匮乏的食物到摄入过多热量，而不一定增加能量消耗。这些选择使青少年在其一生中肥胖的风险更大。
