OBJECTIVE/BACKGROUND: Beyond sleep duration, the regularity of sleep patterns (e.g., sleep consistency), including variability in sleep timing (e.g., bedtime, wake time) and duration, is a critical marker of sleep health. Sleep consistency is captured using a variety of methods within the literature (e.g., sleep intraindividual variability, social jetlag), but most of the research focuses on adolescents.
Drawing on a developmental perspective, this narrative review highlights how normative changes at the individual (e.g., biological, cognitive, and social) and contextual (e.g., home, school, sociocultural) levels may contribute to inconsistent sleep patterns across development.
This review emphasizes how inconsistent sleep may increase across pivotal transitions throughout development (e.g., elimination of naps, puberty, summertime, entering college). Finally, recommendations for measuring sleep consistency and areas to address in future research are discussed.
目的/背景:除睡眠时间外,睡眠模式的规律性(如睡眠一致性),包括睡眠时间(如就寝时间、起床时间)和时长的变异性,是睡眠健康的关键指标。文献中使用多种方法来衡量睡眠一致性(如睡眠个体内变异性、社会时差),但大多数研究集中在青少年群体。
从发展的角度出发,本叙述性综述强调了个体层面(如生物学、认知和社会层面)以及环境层面(如家庭、学校、社会文化层面)的规范性变化如何导致整个发育过程中睡眠模式不一致。
本综述强调了在整个发育过程中的关键转变(如停止午睡、青春期、夏季、进入大学)期间,睡眠不一致情况可能会增加。最后,讨论了测量睡眠一致性的建议以及未来研究中需要解决的领域。
