Sumario:WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS TOPIC? There has been little to no description of sleep status among children and adolescents nationwide in recent years. WHAT IS ADDED BY THIS REPORT? This report assesses the sleep duration and sleep patterns of children and adolescents in China. Approximately half of the adolescents did not get the recommended amount of sleep on school days, and more than half overslept on weekends. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE? The importance of children and adolescents meeting recommended sleep durations needs greater emphasis, especially among older age groups and those in urban areas.
