Abstract
Sleep has an important role in maintaining health and wellbeing and there is increasing recognition of this for adolescents and young adults. Many physicians will encounter young people who present with complaints or conditions which have some relation to poor sleep. This review article looks at why sleep matters within this population group, how it can impact on longer term health consequences and discusses some tools to help enable the clinician to evaluate and address sleep within clinical practice.
