Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Strengths and Limitations: The key strength of this study is the use of a territory-wide, random sampling method. Together with a high response rate, we have captured a representative sample of school-aged children and adolescents in Hong Kong. Furthermore, we kept our sampling methodology consistent before and during COVID, making our data from the two periods comparable. The study has several limitations: First, this study was cross-sectional by nature and not longitudinal. Second, the sleep parameters were derived only from self-report or parent-report, without objective measures such as actigraphy. Third, our data did not capture daytime activities, limiting our interpretation of mediating factors of changes.
