Discussion To our knowledge, this is the first study in adolescents with JIA to use a sleep manipulation protocol to determine the effect on pain. This study found that pain improves with longer sleep for adolescents with JIA who report at least some daily pain. Improvements were found after an average increase of 84 min of sleep per night in our primary outcome, pain level, pain interference and also disease activity and HRQoL.
