Abstract The prevalence of sleep deprivation is rising among adolescents due to studies, extra schoolar activities or the intense social life. However, the poor quality of sleep may induce uncountable injuries to the intelectual development, causing behaviors changes and metabolic disorders. The obesity has become the hotspot in public health and it is apparently associated to impairment in sleep quality not only as a factor to sleep disturbance but also as a consequence of its deprivation. Therefore, a better access to this population is required to investigate possible associations between the quality of sleep and factors that may be related to this. Thus, the data will also provide a better quality of life to the adolescents. | |
