title: Loneliness and sleep during adolescence.
abstract: Samples of 106 early, 111 middle, and 113 late adolescents responded to the UCLA Loneliness Scale and the VSH Sleep Scale. Statistically significant correlations showed greater loneliness was associated with greater sleep disturbance in early and middle adolescents but not in late adolescents. Both sleep effectiveness and amount of sleep were not appreciably correlated with loneliness during adolescence.
