title: A retrospective examination of the relationship between body mass index and polysomnographic measures of sleep in adolescents.
abstract: Total sleep time is inversely related to body mass index (BMI) in adults and children, an observation not well characterized in the adolescent population. We conducted a retrospective chart review that indicated certain sleep disruptions were associated with increased BMI by polysomnography in this group.
