Insomnia disorder in adolescence is common and associated with:

Poorer quality of life

Increased risk for psychopathology

Compromised functioning

Diagnosing insomnia in adolescence is complex and requires evaluation within the context of:

Social changes

Behavioral changes

Bioregulatory changes

Cortical hyperactivation supports the idea of hyperarousal as an underlying mechanism of insomnia in adolescence.

Art 2

Have a high consumption of caffeine or caffeinated drinks mixed with alcohol

Constant access to digital information

Raising awareness about insomnia as distinct from typical adolescent sleep changes and other disorders (e.g., DSPD) is necessary for early intervention.

Art 3

There are two main approaches for the treatment of insomnia disorder in adolescence, which are used in isolation or combination; cognitive behavioral interventions and pharmacotherapy, although alternative methods have also been reported to improve insomnia symptoms. To date, research into the effectiveness of treatments in this population is largely lacking. For the treatment to be more effective you can have a flexible treatment solution (e.g., in-person, online, group therapy, school settings).
