Abstract in brief

  • The study found a strong link between sleep problems and lower levels of subjective happiness among Japanese adolescents, with a dose-response relationship indicating that more sleep issues are associated with reduced happiness.
  • Data from over 64,000 students aged 12-18 showed that sleep problems like insomnia, short sleep duration, and poor sleep quality are significantly associated with lower happiness levels, even after accounting for demographic and mental health factors.
  • The researchers suggest that policymakers and schools should promote good sleep hygiene and emotional well-being to improve both sleep quality and overall happiness in adolescents.
