For five consecutive weeknights, sleep was assessed in the home environment using an actigraph. Academic achievement was assessed using report card grades.Results: Girls who obtained on average less sleep than the recommended amount of 8 to 10 hrs per night had significantly lower grades in mathematics compared to girls who obtained the recommended amount (77.61 vs 86.16, respectively; ηp2=0.11). Hierarchical regression analyses adjusted for age, pubertal status, and socioeconomic status revealed that longer average sleep time was significantly associated with higher grades in mathematics (B=4.78, 95% CI [2.03,7.53]). No significant associations were found between sleep variables and grades in languages.Conclusion: Longer average weekday sleep duration is associated with academic achievement of adolescent girls in mathematics.Keywords: actigraphy, adolescence, grades, report card, genderLin LSomerville GBoursier JSantisteban JAGruber RDove Medical Pressarticleactigraphyadolescencegradesreport cardgenderPsychiatryRC435-571Neurophysiology and neuropsychologyQP351-495ENNature and Science of Sleep, Vol Volume 12, Pp 173-182 (2020)
