Abstract

Adolescence is a vital developmental phase characterized by substantial transformations in the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social domains of teenagers. Sleep is crucial for maintaining the mental stability of teenagers; nevertheless, contemporary lifestyle conditions, scholastic expectations, and the use of electronic gadgets are increasingly hindering adolescents’ capacity to obtain sufficient nighttime rest. This literature review seeks to consolidate existing studies on the correlation between sleep and emotional well-being in adolescents and propose additional recommendations on the subject.
