Impact of sleep opportunity on asthma outcomes in adolescents.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale

Insufficient sleep is associated with a number of negative health outcomes; as most adolescents obtain <7 h of sleep per night, it is important to understand how sleep impacts asthma among adolescents.

Objectives

To examine the impact of sleep opportunity on asthma in adolescents.

Methods

In this study, 54 adolescents with asthma (12-17 years, 69% female, 65% Caucasian) participated in a randomized, cross-over sleep manipulation trial, including a sleep stabilization week, five nights of a "Short" sleep opportunity (time in bed: 6.5 h/night), and five nights of a "Long" sleep opportunity (time in bed: 9.5 h/night). Wake times were consistent across all three study weeks. Primary outcomes were lung function (daily peak expiratory flow rate, weekly spirometry)
