Influence of sleep on developing brain functions and structures in children and adolescents: A systematic review

This systematic review examined the associations between sleep and brain functions and structures in children and adolescents aged 1 to 17 years. Included studies (n=24) were peer-reviewed and met the a priori determined population (apparently healthy children and adolescents aged 1 year to 17 years), intervention/exposure/comparator (various sleep characteristics including duration, architecture, quality, timing), and outcome criteria (brain functions and/or brain structures, excluding cognitive function outcomes).
