title: Research note: sleep problems of normal Chinese adolescents.
abstract: Eight hundred and forty-six Chinese adolescents were surveyed concerning sleep behaviours including insomnia, nightmares, somniloquism, somnambulism, bruxism, and enuresis. Bruxism was reported most frequently (22%) followed by somniloquism (17%) and insomnia (14.9%). Subjects were compared by sex, age, and rearing by parents or parent surrogates. Cross cultural comparisons and the possible significance of findings are discussed.
