Abstract

Adolescence may be a critical period which marks puberty and physical maturation, where there’s a gradual transition between childhood and adulthood. Sleep affects the physical, mental, and emotional development of the adolescents, and it’s a possible impact on their academic performance. Adolescents should sleep 8-10 hours/day on a regular basis to promote optimal health. Poor sleep has multiple effects on adolescent health which includes depression, excessive day time sleepiness and metabolic dysfunctions. Unlike adults, children don’t usually complain of sleep problems or seek treatment.

Keywords: cognition, sleep, adolescence, depression

Impact statement

This study aims to compare the effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive function among adolescent males and females in selected rural and urban areas of District Mohali, Punjab. The research will investigate whether sleep deprivation impacts cognitive abilities differently based on gender and living environment (rural vs. urban). By assessing cognitive performance in adolescents from diverse settings, the study seeks to provide insights into the relationship between sleep patterns and cognitive function, as well as the potential influence of socio-environmental factors on adolescent health and development.
