A significant number of adolescents experience sleepiness, primarily due to sleep deprivation. The detrimental effects of inadequate sleep on both physical and mental health are well documented, particularly during adolescence-a critical developmental stage that has far-reaching implications for later life outcomes. The International Classification of Diseases 11th Revision recently introduced the disorder termed 'insufficient sleep syndrome,' characterized by a persistent reduction in sleep quantity. However, diagnosing this condition based solely on sleep duration is challenging due to significant individual variation in what constitutes optimal sleep. Despite this, managing sleep debt remains difficult without a clear understanding of individual optimal sleep needs. This review aims to reassess recommended sleep durations, with a focus on enhancing sleep literacy. Beginning with an exploration of insufficient sleep syndrome, this review delves into research on optimal sleep duration and examines foundational studies on sleep debt's impact on the developing brain. Finally, it addresses the challenges inherent in sleep education programs from the perspective of sleep literacy. By doing so, this review seeks to contribute to a deeper understanding of the chronic sleep debt issues faced by adolescents, particularly those affected by insufficient sleep syndrome.
相当数量的青少年会感到困倦，主要原因是睡眠不足。睡眠不足对身心健康的有害影响已有充分记录，尤其是在青春期——这一关键的发育阶段对日后的生活结果有着深远影响。《国际疾病分类》第11版最近引入了“睡眠不足综合征”这一病症，其特征是睡眠量持续减少。然而，由于在什么构成最佳睡眠方面存在显著的个体差异，仅根据睡眠时间来诊断这种病症具有挑战性。尽管如此，在没有清楚了解个体最佳睡眠需求的情况下，管理睡眠债仍然困难。本综述旨在重新评估推荐的睡眠时间，重点是提高睡眠素养。本综述从对睡眠不足综合征的探索开始，深入研究最佳睡眠时间，并审视关于睡眠债对发育中大脑影响的基础研究。最后，它从睡眠素养的角度探讨了睡眠教育项目中固有的挑战。通过这样做，本综述旨在促进对青少年面临的慢性睡眠债问题的更深入理解，尤其是那些受睡眠不足综合征影响的青少年。
