Description
Xuye Kang, Jianying Li, and Huipan Wu survey teen sleep across China in this 2026 study. Sleep quality is sliding among Chinese adolescents, and the team set out to measure how it splits by sex and by city versus countryside.
Data covered 5,713 students aged 13 to 18, averaging about 15 years old. A standard sleep questionnaire found a third sleeping poorly. Rural teens fared worse than urban ones, at about 36 versus lower urban rates, and girls worse than boys, at about 38 percent. Fitness and mental health protected sleep, while higher body weight, sitting time, and screen time hurt it. Place and sex changed the strength of those links.
