dc.description.abstractAbstract Objective: Sleep disturbance is common among adolescents around the world. Our study aimed to determine the prevalence of sleeping disorders among in-school adolescents in Ilorin, Nigeria. Methods: With a cross-sectional design, sleep quality was assessed among 512 in-school adolescents using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). A cut-off score of 5 was used. Data analysis was done with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 22. Results: Three out of every five adolescents were poor sleepers (PSQI global score > 5). Only a few respondents (19%) had optimal sleep (≥ 9 hours), and more than half had inadequate sleep (< 7 hours). Poor sleep was associated with male gender, being the first born and residence at home. Logistic regression analysis showed that living at home, as against hostel living, was predictive of poor sleep. Conclusion: Most respondents had inadequate sleep. Support from parents and other stakeholders could improve sleep among adolescents, as poor sleep is quite common in this age group. These concerted efforts would promote adolescent mental health in north-central Nigeria.
