0806 Internalizing And Externalizing Symptoms And Sleep Hygiene Behavior In Adolescents
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Insomnia is associated with externalizing and internalizing behaviors in adolescents. Whereas the existence of mental health challenges could contribute to the onset of insomnia, poor sleep hygiene has been shown to contribute to perpetuating it. However, it is not clear what specific sleep hygiene behaviors are common in adolescents with externalizing and internalizing symptoms. The objective of this study was to identify behaviors at bedtime that are associated with internalizing and externalizing symptoms and that could contribute to the perpetuation of insomnia in adolescents. 90 adolescents ages 13–17 (M=15.06, SD=1.5) participated in the study. They completed the Youth Self Report (YSR) to assess behavioral and emotional problems and the Adolescent Sleep Hygiene Scale (ASHS) to assess sleep hygiene behaviors. Indicators of mental illness (internalizing and externalizing symptoms) were significantly correlated with higher cognitive/emotional arousal at bedtime (i.e., mental stimulation, strong emotional reflection, and rumination). No association was found between adolescents’ daytime symptoms and behavioral arousal at bedtime (i.e., the presence of behaviors keeping one aroused at bedtime, such as use of electronics in bed or exercising before bedtime). Adolescents who report higher than average symptoms of either internalizing or externalizing problems also report more cognitive/emotional sleep hygiene behaviors that promote arousal. Future longitudinal studies are needed to determine the causality and direction of this association. N/A.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
