| Abstract (English): |
Sleep is a vital function for human beings; therefore, adequate sleep is essential for the healthy development of people. It is conceived as a neurobehavioral state that occupies between 20 and 40% of the day, influenced by biological, behavioral, environmental and personal/social factors. Sleep quality includes aspects such as satisfaction, duration, regularity, and ability to stay alert; however, factors such as age, chronotype, light, noise, mood, and certain lifestyle habits can negatively affect sleep. Circadian rhythms, regulated by a central clock in the hypothalamus, synchronize bodily functions with the light and dark cycle. Discrepancies between biological clocks and social schedules (social jet lag) due to work or study led to sleep insufficiency and "chronodisruption". In youth, this is associated with poor sleep quality, irregular eating, and increased risk of obesity and mood disorders. Therefore, it is important to promote regular sleep habits to mitigate these negative effects and improve the overall health of young people. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): |
El sueño es una función vital para el ser humano; por tanto, un sueño adecuado es fundamental para el desarrollo saludable de las personas. Se concibe como un estado neuroconductual que ocupa entre el 20 y el 40 % del día, influenciado por factores biológicos, conductuales, ambientales y personales/sociales. La calidad del sueño incluye aspectos como la satisfacción, duración, regularidad y la capacidad de mantenerse alerta; sin embargo, factores como la edad, cronotipo, luz, ruido, estado de ánimo y ciertos hábitos de vida pueden afectar negativamente el sueño. Los ritmos circadianos, regulados por un reloj central en el hipotálamo, sincronizan las funciones corporales con el ciclo de luz y oscuridad. La discrepancia entre el reloj biológico y los horarios sociales (jet lag social) por trabajo o estudio provoca falta de sueño y "cronodisrupción". En los jóvenes, esto se asocia con una mala calidad del sueño, hábitos alimenticios irregulares y un mayor riesgo de obesidad y trastornos del estado de ánimo. Por ello, es importante promover hábitos de sueño regulares para mitigar estos efectos negativos y mejorar la salud general de los jóvenes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
