Insufficient sleep has been argued to result in deleterious changes to mood in adolescents and offers promise as a modifiable risk factor. A systematic review of the literature regarding sleep duration and mood in adolescents was conducted using the academic databases PsycINFO, PubMed, Medline, Scopus, and EMBASE to identify relevant literature. Seventy-four studies, including 361,505 adolescents were sourced out of the 1534 references identified, 73 of which were appropriate for meta-analysis. Pooled results indicated that less sleep was associated with a 55% increase in the likelihood of mood deficits. Positive mood showed the largest relationship with sleep duration, followed by anger, depression, negative affect and anxiety. Effect sizes also varied according to study design, how sleep was operationalised, and geographical region, but not according to the inclusion of covariates. Sleep duration has a significant negative impact on a range of mood states in healthy adolescents. These effects were witnessed across all geographical regions, highlighting that sleep is a universal and modifiable risk factor for preventing mood deficits in this at-risk population.

睡眠不足被认为会导致青少年情绪的有害变化，并有望作为可改变的危险因素。使用学术数据库PsycINFO，PubMed，Medline，Scopus和EMBASE对有关青少年睡眠时间和情绪的文献进行了系统的综述，以鉴定相关文献。在确定的1534篇参考文献中，有74项研究（包括361,505名青少年）来自于其中的73篇适用于荟萃分析的参考文献。汇总结果表明，睡眠不足与情绪低落的可能性增加55％有关。积极的情绪与睡眠时间的关系最大，其次是生气，沮丧，负面影响和焦虑。效果的大小也因研究设计，睡眠操作方式和地理区域而异，但不是根据包含的协变量。睡眠时间对健康青少年的各种情绪状态均具有显着的负面影响。在所有地理区域都见证了这些影响，突显了睡眠是预防这一高风险人群情绪低落的普遍且可改变的危险因素。
