Worse sleep health predicts less frequent breakfast consumption among adolescents in a micro-longitudinal analysis

ABSTRACT:

Poor self-reported sleep health has been linked to not consuming breakfast in adolescents, but it is unknown whether poor sleep measured objectively predicts next-day breakfast consumption within adolescents.
