Methods: The data for this study was the 2018 Youth Health Behavior Survey. Sleep insufficient type was classified 4 categories(Type of quantitative and qualitative sufficient; Type of quantitative insufficient; Type of qualitative insufficient. Type of quantitative and qualitative insufficient). Multiple frequency and multiple chi-square analysis was performed. And multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to the association between sleep insufficient type and suicidal ideation for middle and high school students. Results: 40.1% of middle school students reported that they felt subjective sleep sufficient and slept more than the average sleep duration while 30.4% of high school students stated they did. For middle school students, the odds ratio(OR) of suicidal ideation in Type of quantitative insufficient was 1.18 times(95%CI, 1.05-1.33), in Type of qualitative insufficient was 1.37 times(95% CI, 1.18-1.60), in Type of quantitative and qualitative insufficient was 1.58 times(95% CI, 1.40-1.77) higher than Type of quantitative and qualitative sufficient. For high school students, the odds ratio of suicidal ideation in Type of quantitative insufficient was 1.26 times(95%CI, 1.08-1.47), in Type of quantitative and qualitative insufficient was 1.20 times(95% CI, 1.05-1.36) higher than Type of quantitative and qualitative sufficient. Conclusion: Sleep insufficient type and other characteristics for suicidal ideation were different among middle and high school students.
