Exposure to high temperature and sleep in preadolescents from two European birth cohorts
Warmer temperatures were associated with shortened sleep duration and poorer sleep efficiency in adolescents in the Netherlands, but not in Spain. These results suggest potential cross-country differences in the relationship between ambient temperature and adolescent sleep, though comparisons should be made cautiously due to differences in climate, acclimatization, population characteristics, and sample size. Climate change may worsen preadolescents sleep, underscoring the need for strategies to protect sleep and promote long-term health.
