Respondents to the Year 7 Health Survey were asked to report how often during the week they go to sleep at the same time.
The proportion of respondents to the Year 7 Health Survey who reported going to sleep at the same time on most days per week has remained relatively stable between 2020 (27.6%) and 2021 (26.9%).
In 2021, there was no difference by sex of those who reported going to sleep at the same time on most days per week (30.7% males, 25.6% females).
For the purpose of this analysis, most days refers to six or more days in the week prior to completing the Year 7 Health Survey.
The 24-hour movement guidelines for children and young people aged 5-13 recommend that in order to establish and maintain healthy sleep patterns, children and young people should have a consistent bedtime routine, avoid screen time before sleep, and keep screens out of the bedroom.
For the purpose of reporting the Year 7 Health Survey data on HealthStats, if the 95% confidence intervals of the estimates do not overlap, they are considered to be significantly different.
Persons includes male, female, other and refused sex respondents and may not always add to the sum of male and female.
