A self-compiled questionnaire was used to collect the general demographic information， sleep status， lifestyle habits， family and school status of the selected individuals. The demographic information was compared between sleep sufficiency group and sleep insufficiency group. Spearman rank correlation was used to screen the influencing factors. Results① Among 131 children and adolescents with mental disorders， 93 cases （71.0%） had sleep insufficiency. There were significant differences between sleep insufficiency group and sleep sufficiency group in terms of disease types （χ2=8.798， P=0.012）， experience of being beaten in recent 6 months （χ2=3.427， P=0.035）， being scolded in recent 6 months （χ2=4.145， P=0.031）， and cyberbullying over the past year （χ2=4.187， P=0.041）. ② Among patients with sleep insufficiency， 77 cases （82.8%） reported difficulty in falling asleep and 69 cases （74.2%） reported nocturnal awakenings. ③ Sleep insufficiency in children and adolescents with mental disorders was positively correlated with the experience of being scolded （r=0.210， P=0.037） or beaten （r=0.145， P=0.023） over the past 6 months and cyberbullying over the past year （r=0.179， P=0.041）.
