Introdução: O sono é um estado de repouso temporário, que permite a manutenção do estado de saúde do indivíduo. Trata-se de um processo biologicamente complexo, cujo interesse tem vindo a crescer desde a Antiguidade até os dias atuais. Valle, (2016).
Objetivo: Analisar os hábitos de sono e o estado emocional de alunos com Perturbação de Espectro de Autismo (PEA) e o seu aproveitamento escolar.
Metodologia: Participaram deste estudo 30 crianças e 28 adolescentes de ambos os sexos, diagnosticados com Perturbação do Espectro do Autismo, no qual foram aplicados questionários, o que permitiu a recolha de dados sociodemograficos como: sexo, idade, ano que frequentam, média das notas e seus hábitos do sono. Para obtenção dos dados foi aplicado em conjunto o Sleep Self Report – SSR, e o Questionário de Sonolência em Adolescentes de Cleveland.
Resultados: Em qualquer dos grupos amostrais é evidente um défice de horas. Este défice é maior nas crianças do sexo masculino de 2 horas e 30 minutos. Com relação aos adolescentes, percebe-se que este défice é 50% mais elevado para as raparigas.
Conclusões: Conclui-se que, fica evidente uma carência de horas de sono para as crianças de ambos os sexos, com os rapazes a privarem-se de 2 horas e 31 minutos de sono e as raparigas 1 hora e 8 minutos. Já os adolescentes, apresentam uma carência de sono de 1 hora e 30 minutos para os rapazes e 2 horas para as raparigas. No inquérito sobre a emotividade dos adolescentes se percebe um elevado grau de irritabilidade e intolerância em especial nas raparigas. Neste estudo, não é possível estabelecer um efeito direto das poucas horas de sono das crianças e adolescentes sobre o seu aproveitamento escolar.
Introduction: Sleep is a state of temporary rest, which allows for the maintenance of the individual's state of health. It is a biologically complex process, whose interest has been growing since ancient times to the present day. Valle, (2016). Objective: To analyse the sleep habits and emotional state of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their school achievement. Methodology: 30 children and 28 adolescents of both genders, diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, participated in this study, in which questionnaires were applied, which allowed the collection of sociodemographic data such as: gender, age, year they attend, grade point average and their sleep habits. To obtain the data, the Sleep Self Report - SSR and the Cleveland Adolescent Sleepiness Questionnaire were jointly applied. Results: In any of the sample groups, a deficit of hours is evident. This deficit is greater in male children of 2 hours and 30 minutes. Regarding adolescents, it is perceived that this deficit is 50% higher for girls. Conclusions: We conclude that it is evident a lack of hours of sleep for children of both sexes, with boys depriving themselves of 2 hours and 31 minutes of sleep and girls 1 hour and 8 minutes. Adolescents, on the other hand, show a lack of sleep of 1 hour and 30 minutes for boys and 2 hours for girls. The survey on the adolescents' emotionality shows a high degree of irritability and intolerance, especially in girls. In this study, it is not possible to establish a direct effect of the few hours of sleep of children and adolescents on their school performance.
