Abstract Eight hundred and forty‐six Chinese adolescents were surveyed concerning sleep behaviours including Insomnia, nightmares, somniloquism, somnambulism, bruxism, and enurcsis. Bruxism was reported most frequently (22%) followed by somniloquism (17%) and insomnia (14.9%). Subjects were compared by sex, age, and rearing by parents or parent surrogates. Crass cultural comparisons and the possible significance of findings are discussed.
