Abstract

Background: Sleep patterns face important changes during adolescence. This can have implications for the immune system, which is regulated by the sleep–wake cycle; however, most studies relating sleep and immune system have been conducted on adults. Objective: To study the relationships between sleep duration, immune cell counts, and cytokines in Eu- ropean adolescents participating in the HELENA Cross-Sectional Study. Methods: Adolescents(12.5–17.5years;n=933;53.9%girls)weregroupedaccordingtoself-reportedsleep duration into
