| Abstract |
Sleep problems are common among teenagers with an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis. However, there is only fragmented knowledge about how sleep problems affect those teenagers’ lives. Moreover, interventions to improve sleep are mainly delivered in clinical practice, while school-based sleep interventions could be more easily accessible for teenagers. The studies in this thesis focus on increasing knowledge about the relationship between sleep and daytime functioning in autistic teenagers, developing a school-based sleep intervention, and investigating its efficacy.
