Predictors of Sleep-Problem Trajectories Across Adolescence.

ABSTRACT: Stress and sleep problems are significantly correlated in adolescents. Few longitudinal studies, however, have evaluated possible correlates and predictors of sleep problems at multiple points across adolescence.

Multi-group latent growth curve analyses were c
