TL;DR: Evidence is provided that prolonged video‐gaming may cause clinically significant disruption to adolescent sleep, even when sleep after video‐ gaming is initiated at normal bedtime, and physiological arousal may not necessarily be the mechanism by which technology use affects sleep.

TL;DR: This study analysed the pre-sleep alertness, sleep, and morning functioning of 16 healthy adolescents who used a bright tablet screen, dim screen, and a filtered short-wavelength screen for 1 hr before their usual bedtime in a within-subjects protocol, finding minimal clinical significance.

TL;DR: Adolescents with DSPD reported similar lifestyle habits and daytime functioning to those with some or no symptoms, but there were trends for greater alcohol and caffeine consumption, less sport participation, yet more time spent on extracurricular activities.

TL;DR: Current literature related to DSPD etiology is reviewed and collated in order to outline gaps in current knowledge and suggest future research.

TL;DR: The outcomes of this study support a vigorous and continued application of chronobiological and behavioural therapies to entrain DSPD patients to their desired earlier sleep times.
