摘要
As part of a longitudinal study of diet and dental caries, 405 Northumberland children initially aged 11-12 yr recorded the time of going to bed on 3 consecutive days on 5 occasions over a 23-mo. period. Bedtimes were recorded in a personal diary and checked at private interview. Mean bedtime for the 212 females changed from 21:44 h at age 11 yr 7 mo. to 22:11 h at age 13 yr 3 mo. Bedtime for the 193 males was, on average, 9 min later than that for the females. There was a consistent relation between bedtime and social class, with social class IV + V children going to bed, on average, 14 min later than social class I + II children. When the average age of the children was 13 yr 3 mo., 13% of them went to bed at or after 23:00 h, and they were latest to bed on Saturday when their average bedtime was 22:59 h.
