Sažetak
Objectives: Several studies examined relationship between insufficient and irregular sleep and risk behaviours of adolescents whose classes started in the morning. We examined that relationship in adolescents who attended classes in the afternoon every other week, and had more opportunities for sufficient sleep but showed more irregular sleep schedule over a two-week period. Methods: We analysed data of adolescents 11-18 years of age from primary (N=1105) and secondary schools (N=1258). A Croatian version of School Sleep Habits Survey was used to collect data on sleep characteristics, daytime sleepiness, and risk of injuries and accidents. Results: Groups of adolescents reporting none, one, and more than one accident or injury in the previous six months differed in sleep duration on week when school was scheduled in the morning (p<0.001), bedtime delay between weekend and school week with morning schedule (p<0, 05), and daytime sleepiness (p<0.001). No difference was observed between the three groups in measures of sleep duration irregularities or in bedtime delay between a school week with morning and a week with afternoon schedule. Conclusions: The results indicate that insufficient sleep in the week when school starts in the morning is predictive for risk of injuries and accidents even in a school system in which adolescents have opportunity to sleep enough every other week when school is scheduled in the afternoon. Irregularities of sleep schedule and duration in such school system do not seem to have negative consequences for risk of injuries, with the exception of the bedtime delay on weekend.
