Running Head: LITERATURE REVIEW1 LITERATURE REVIEW12 IMPROVING QUALITY OF SLEEP BY USING MINDFULNESS IN ADOLESCENTS Introduction In the present days, getting a good quality of the sleep is considered as the gift provided by the nature. In this fast and busy life, number of hours implemented by people in sleep is very getting lesser with passing time. People especially teenagers and office going population are implementing the large amount of time in their work or spend on their leisure at the cost of sleeping. Over the period, most of them suffered from poor quality of sleep and the purpose of sleep just ended. Earlier, the meaning of sleep was getting refresh to start the new day. Now, sleep is mere a routine, which people complete every night. This poor quality of sleep results in lowering the quality of life. Apart from this, it is responsible for the development of many kinds of disorders such as depression and anxiety. There are many methods, which have been developed over the period to improve the quality of sleep. Mindfulness is one of the therapies, which is used to improve the quality. This can be applied in everyday life. This therapy can be applied as an intervention and its impact can be studied. Following assignment applied mindfulness as an intervention on adolescent suffering from the poor quality of sleep. Target Problem The target problem is quality of sleep. During the early stages of poor quality of sleep, people fail to pay any serious attention until it takes the serious turn. As mentioned by Quintero et al. (2019), poor quality of sleep is responsible for causing sleep insomnia. Most of the people are suffering from the poor quality of sleep. It has been seen that early signs of poor sleep are often neglected by the people. Some of the people fail to get proper diagnosis of their issue until their insomnia is worsened. As stated by Albertsdottir, Sigurdardottir and Thorleifsdottir (2019), early signs of poor quality of sleep are ignored very badly. These signs include taking around thirty minutes in falling asleep after getting into bed. Getting awake more than once every night and take more than twenty minutes in getting back to sleep when awake in the middle. Apart from this, the amount of time spend in sleeping is less than eighty percent of the mentioned hours. As suggested by de Lima and Silva (2018), there are many causes for the poor quality of the sleep. There are wide range of medical illness, which results into sleep disturbance and poor quality of sleep. The chronic illness such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, heartburn, mental health problems, musculoskeletal disorders, respiratory problem and thyroid disease are responsible for lowering of quality of sleep. On the contrary, high level of stress and depression also act as main factor for causing poor quality of sleep. As noted by Wang et al. (2016), it has been seen that poor quality of sleep can have impact on the daily routine of the people. People after the sleep, fail to get refresh, they experience excessive daytime sleepiness. Apart from this, there is lack of energy in people and have difficulty in concentrating. There is a mood and behaviour disturbance among people. Individuals often show aggression, irritability and impulsive behaviour. There is decrease in the concentration and increase in the depression among people. On the contrary, poor quality of sleep is responsible for developing of troubles in personal and professional relationships. Overall, it reduces the quality of life. As stated by Kolb and Martin (2017), there are internal as well as external factors responsible for the lowering of the quality of sleep. The amount of sleep decreases with the age and other variations that took place over the period. Other factors, such as eating and drinking, medication and environment also influence the sleeping pattern of the person. These days frequent change in the sleep cycle is responsible for reducing the quality of sleep among people. The long working hours and rotational shifts directly affect the sleep of the people. People working night shifts are responsible for the change in the biological cycle of the body. Apart from this, excessive sleepiness and change in the timing of the sleep result into causing poor quality of sleep. As mentioned by Blafoss et al. (2019), pain and discomfort can limit the depth of sleep and result in a brief sleep between the periods of awakenings. Since depression and anxiety among the people of all ages is very common. People suffered from these disorders have constant difficulty in sleeping. There are certain medications, which prevent people from taking good quality of sleep. It must be noted that at an early age poor quality of sleep does not seem to be major problem but over the period, it can risk the life of the people and forced the people to consume high dosage of the sleeping pills for better sleep. Target Population The target population selected for the study is adolescents. As suggested by Campsen and Buboltz (2017), it has been seen that adolescent needs to have sleep between eight and ten hours every night. Their sleep requirement is higher than any other adult is. On the contrary, in the present times, adolescents get only 6-7 hours of sleep every night, which is getting lesser with every generation. This trend is very risky as poor quality of sleep among the adolescents become common problem. This constant trend of poor quality of sleep makes the adolescent vulnerable towards chronic sleep deprivation. As an outcome, it poorly affects the life of teenagers. They can have poor academic performance at school, low self-esteem, depression and anxiety. Their mental health gets disturb. As mentioned by Liu et al. (2017), the main cause of poor quality of sleep among adolescent include change in the lifestyle. There is high rate of addiction towards the mobile phones and social media, which prevent the teenagers to sleep on time despite of laying bed at right time. On an average, adolescent use more than 2 to 3 hours on mobile phones to play games or spend time on the social media. This reduces their sleeping time, as they have to wake up early to attend their schools and colleges. The hectic schedule of school and after-school activities such as tuition, homework and extra-curricular activities prevent these children to get early sleep. On the contrary, all the adolescent engaged their time in entertainment such as watching television or computer gaming, which reduces their time of sleep further. As noted by Xie, Dong and Wang (2018), it has been seen that the light exposure adolescent get from the mobile and television screen results in
