Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is crucial for both mental and physical well-being. Adequate sleep, exercise and a healthy diet not only benefit physical health (Chin et al., 2019) but also mental health, for example by reducing the risk of depression (Rabouch et al., 2019; 2019). since 1997; 2016 that; Clinical Admissions and Outcomes, 2016; Quality of life can be very important for the mental health and well-being of young people. Adolescence is a time of growth and social change, including increased responsibilities, new roles and lifestyle changes (Conley et al., 2020). This developmental period often coincides with the transition to employment or higher education, where attitudes, learning needs and lifestyles change, potentially affecting health behaviors (Conley et al., 2014). Rev. Fr. 2008; Stallman, 2010), which may reflect the role of unhealthy lifestyles in contributing to poor emotional functioning.
There is strong evidence linking the “big three” health behaviors—sleep, physical activity, and diet—to the mental health and well-being of growing adults. Sleep is a modifiable lifestyle characteristic that may be impaired in this population. Sleep plays a key role in mental and physical health throughout life, with approximately one-third of each day spent sleeping (Samson & Nunn, 2015). Children should sleep 7 to 9 hours every night, while healthy adults should sleep 7 to 8 hours (Hirshkowitz et al., 2015). Evidence suggests that inadequate and disrupted sleep negatively affects mental and physical health and is a risk factor for depression and anxiety (Alfano & Gamble, 2009; Harvey, 2011). 1997; Bassett et al., 2015; Wallace and colleagues, 2017). Furthermore, although clear sleep quantity guidelines have been published and established, little attention is paid to the importance of quality sleep for mental health and well-being. The second most changeable behavior linked to children’s health and wellbeing is physical activity. Exercise releases nutrients that boost mood and energy levels, as well as mental health and happiness (Fox, 1999).Depression and other mental health conditions have been demonstrated to improve with regular, moderate physical activity (Bailey et al., 2018). It is associated with in unmedicated children (Pando & Dunn, 2005) and with overall happiness (Zhang & Chen, 2019). In contrast, physical inactivity and a more sedentary lifestyle are associated with poorer mental health among adolescents (Asher et al., 2007).
Conclusions: Sleep quality is important for children’s mental health and well-being, but physical activity and diet are important but still important. Although these factors are highly correlated, they suggest that sleep interventions may improve adolescents’ mental health in the future.
