Adolescent Sleep Patterns and Bedtime Autonomy Survey Data

A cross-sectional questionnaire survey of 2,512 adolescents (70% female, mean age 14.46 ± 2.08) recorded sleep habits, screen use, and daytime repercussions. The dataset, authored by Sarah Hartley and last updated in May 2026, examines the association between perceived bedtime autonomy, sleep patterns, and daytime functioning.

Use Cases

• Modeling the link between bedtime autonomy and sleep deprivation based on weekday/weekend autonomy categories.
• Analyzing the association between social jetlag and weekend-only bedtime autonomy.
• Investigating correlations between screen use timing (evening, after bedtime) and sleepiness or anxiety/depression scores.
• Studying demographic factors (age, sex) associated with the granting of bedtime autonomy.

Strengths

• Dataset includes 2,512 completed adolescent questionnaires, providing a substantive sample size.
• Analysis includes multiple validated scales such as the hospital anxiety and depression scale (HAD) and the FSSA-8 sleepiness scale.
• Findings detail specific percentages for autonomy groups: 14% non-autonomous, 21% weekend-only autonomous, 65% totally autonomous.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small (14.1 KB), indicating limited scope or highly summarized data.
