Abstract
The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the effects of the sleep education with self-help treatment for junior high and high school students. Authors developed the sleep educational program using a checklist of sleep-promoting behaviors based on a goal-setting strategy (self-help treatment), and verified these effects on sleep-promoting behaviors, sleep habits and daytime sleepiness in adolescents. Sleep education with self-help treatment in schools revealed that delayed or irregular sleep/wake patterns significantly improved. Also, it was effective for improving sleep-onset latency, sleep satisfaction, mood during the morning, and daytime sleepiness. Furthermore, the strategy of the sleep education using active learning was also effective in improving sleep-promoting behavior and reducing irritability. Moreover, this article referred to the importance of sleep education in schools and indicated that sleep improvement assistance requires (1) the dissemination of appropriate knowledge, (2) providing support tools, and (3) the development of human resources.
