The objective of this study is to analyse the characteristics of the sleep of young people and their role in the perception of health, satisfaction with life, pressure with school work and school competence. A total of 5695 Portuguese adolescents were included in the study of Health Behaviour in School aged Children (HBSC) (46.1% boys), 8th, 10th and 12th grades in Portugal. We identified associations between all variables related to sleep quality and physical and psychological well-being, as well as the online contact with the close friends and satisfaction with the life of the young people. Variables related to disturbed sleep indicate that the majority of adolescents show a pattern of late sleep and reduced sleep duration at a stage of life where it is fundamental to the good performance of the daily activities of young people related to their school activities and social. The quality and quantity of sleep, as well as its consequences, have been aggravated by the often problematic use of screens, an increasingly salient and focused problem, and with worries that adolescents refer and can not manage.
