The association between sleep duration, bedtimes, and early pubertal timing among Chinese adolescents: a cross-sectional study

ConclusionStudents with early pubertal timing had less sleep duration and later bedtimes, which may be the result of increased stress caused by physical and psychological changes. Therefore, more attention should be paid to pubertal health education for adolescents during puberty. Further longitudinal studies are needed to confirm the causality between sleep and early pubertal timing in Chinese adolescents.
