For this assignment, you will create an annotated bibliography on your chosen topic.
Please locate the CNI Library and conduct a comprehensive search the scholarly literature for at least 3 peer-reviewed articles published within 5 years. This annotated bibliography should provide sufficient background on your topic with current relevance to nursing practice.
Each article in your annotated bibliography should be referenced according to current APA format. After the reference, you will include a summary, assessment, and a reflection.
Summary: Your summary should focus on an analysis of the information within the article. Please avoid simply repeating the article content. Question the main purpose of the article, main arguments, main points, and main focus. Include the type of research was used in the article and the findings or results.
Assessment: The next step after your summary will be your assessment or evaluation. Question the reliability of the information and if the delivery was objective or biased. Question any limitations, strengths, and weaknesses. How was this content relevant to your topic of interest?
Reflection: The last step is your reflection on how this article aligns with your topic interest. How can you use this article to support or show a contrast on your topic? Describe how the information in the article added to your understanding of your topic. Question if the article influenced your perspective on your topic.
Length: 3-4 pages, not including the Title Page. Include 3 scholarly, peer-reviewed resources.
Each annotated bibliography should be no longer than one page. Your submission should include a Title Page. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.

Promoting Better Sleep for Adolescents
Better sleep comprises appropriate timing, sleep efficiency, and absence of daytime
sleepiness. It is essential to the body because it improves cognitive functioning, mental health,
moods and metabolic health. Better sleep also improves our immune response because the body
produces white blood cells and protein called cytokines which protects the body. Promoting better
health entails encouraging people to sleep the recommended hours achieved by putting measures
to help them get to sleep significantly. These measures include avoiding large meals, alcohol
before bedtime, caffeine, getting exercises, and removing electronic devices from the bedrooms.
Promoting better sleep relates to health promotion because it significantly reduces the risks of
diseases such as cardiovascular diseases (CVD) among adolescents (Park et al, 2019). Promoting
better sleep also makes an individual reduce consumption of products with minimum benefits to
the body and observe balanced diets.
According to Roemer et al. (2019), the recommended sleeping time for a young person is
8-10 hours, while for adults is 7- 8 hours. Lack of enough sleep is associated with many chronic
conditions and diseases, including obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and depression. Poor quality
sleep can also lead to mistakes at school or work and motor vehicle accidents that may result in
death or serious injuries. Better sleep is the foundational pillar for better health and should be well
emphasized.
According to Inhulsen et al. (2019), better sleep is essential for adolescents’ general
performance and physical and mental health. Unfortunately, many do not obtain their
recommended 8-10 hours, resulting to diseases caused by sleep deficiency. Adolescents are
encouraged to exercise healthy sleep practices, such as having a sleep schedule and limited use of
electronic devices before bedtime.
