最新的两项国际教育评估发现，全球普遍存在学生睡眠不足的现象，这与睡眠研究报告的结果一致。然而，尽管充足的睡眠在认知和社会功能中发挥着重要作用，但这一重要问题在很大程度上被教育研究人员所忽视。根据睡眠研究的证据，儿童和青少年大量使用媒体的文献，以及面向青少年的游戏网站的网络分析和面向青少年的游戏应用程序的移动的分析数据，我们认为，大量使用媒体，特别是数字游戏，可能是学生睡眠不足的重要原因。因此，教育研究人员、政策制定者、教师和家长应该更加关注学生的睡眠，并制定计划和干预措施来改善学生的睡眠质量和数量。
The latest two international educational assessments found global prevalence of sleep deprivation in students, consistent with what has been reported in sleep research. However, despite the fundamental role of adequate sleep in cognitive and social functioning, this important issue has been largely overlooked by educational researchers. Drawing upon evidence from sleep research, literature on the heavy media use by children and adolescents, and data from web analytics on youth-oriented game sites and mobile analytics on youth-oriented game apps, we argue that heavy media use, particularly digital game play, may be an important contributor to sleep deprivation in students. Therefore, educational researchers, policy makers, teachers, and parents should pay greater attention to student sleep and develop programs and interventions to improve both quality and quantity of student sleep.
