• Teenagers who had trouble falling asleep at night and waking up in the morning (low sleep efficiency), had an average 4 mm Hg (millimeters of mercury) higher systolic blood pressure compared to teenagers without these problems (higher sleep efficiency)
• Nearly two thirds of the teenagers with short sleep duration also had low sleep efficiency.
• Just fewer than 30% of the teenagers with low sleep efficiency also had short sleep duration.
• Teenagers with less than 85% sleep efficiency in the laboratory phase had nearly three times the odds of having elevated blood pressure.

In the MedicalNewsToday article, Redline is quoted to have said that part of the problem is a "technological invasion of the bedroom" with such devices.
Redline concludes by stating two thoughts:
(1) "Adolescents need nine hours of sleep. Parents should optimize sleep quality for their family with regular sleep and wake times and bedrooms should be kept quiet, dark and conducive to sleep.” and
(2) “Our data underscores the need to monitor quality and quantity of sleep as part of a child's overall health strategy.” [MedicalNewsToday]
