Summary: Many adolescents worldwide struggle with meeting recommended sleep hours. This study explores the association between regular energy drink consumption and sufficient sleep in adolescents. It also examines the relationship between health-related behaviors and sleep time, categorized by gender. Findings show that regular energy drink intake is negatively associated with sufficient sleep in both boys and girls, while daily vegetable and water intake may increase sleep odds in boys, and sedative use may decrease the chances of sufficient sleep in girls.

Summary: This review investigates the adverse health events associated with energy drink (ED) consumption in children and adolescents. It found that ED intake may be associated with cardiovascular and neuropsychiatric health events in minors. Additional triggers and preexisting health conditions also play a critical role. To prevent future adverse events, it is important to educate children and adolescents about risk factors and responsible consumption behaviors.

Gender and rumination are independently associated with suicide attempts, and rumination plays a fully mediating role between depression and suicide attempts.
