Abstract
Poor sleep quality has been linked to reduced neural connectivity through decreased white matter (WM) structural integrity. WM tract development has been shown to continue throughout adolescence with studies reporting positive correlations between diffusion-derived estimates of structural integrity and reduced sleep quality in adult samples. Few studies have investigated this relationship exclusively within a sample of young adolescents. N = 51 participants aged 12 years (M = 151.5 months, SD = 4 months) completed a self-report questionnaire which included the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and underwent Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) as part of their baseline assessment in the Longitudinal Adolescent Brain Study (LABS) being undertaken in Queensland, Australia. Fractional anisotropy (FA) were extracted using Tract-Based Spatial Statistics (TBSS) to investigate associations between sleep quality and WM integrity across the brain. Significant correlations were found between the posterior limb of the internal capsule and the PSQI total sleep quality and sleep latency scores. There was also a significant difference in sleep duration between male and female participants. These findings provide an important insight of the impact that sleep may have on early adolescent WM development. Ongoing longitudinal assessment of sleep on WM development across adolescence is likely to provide further important information about how WM maturation relates to variations in sleep quality as circadian rhythm changes occur during middle and late adolescence.
