Zusammenfassung:Knowledge about adolescents routines, their life contexts and life style has been pointed out as essential to decrease the risks, and improve their opportunities for development. This study aims to explore the dimensions of Portuguese adolescents life style, through the analysis of their daily routines, in weekdays and weekend, identify their rhythms of sleep/vigil, and characterize patterns of typical routines associated to specific groups of adolescents. Six hundred fifteen adolescents from the north and centre of Portugal, aged 12 to 18 years, enrolled in school (7th to 12th grade) and homogeneously distributed according to gender, participated in this study. Adolescents filled a Daily Routine Sheet that included the 24 hours of a regular weekday, the 24 hours of a typical Saturday and the 24 hours of a typical Sunday. Data analysis made possible not only to characterise the life style of the participants, but also allowed to identify the differential characteristics, associated to adolescents gender, age, and schooling and parents education. The results are discussed according to the literature that explores the developmental impact of biological, environmental and social rhythms. Some considerations are drawn in order to implement a wealthy as well as a developmentally favourable life style in adolescence. O conhecimento das rotinas dos adolescentes, dos contextos que frequentam e do seu estilo de vida parece ser essencial para a diminuição dos riscos e para o incremento das oportunidades de desenvolvimento dos jovens. Este estudo tem como objectivo explorar as dimensões do estilo de vida de adolescentes portugueses, através da análise das suas rotinas diárias, num dia de semana e ao fim de semana. Pretende-se identificar os ritmos de sono e vigília, as dimensões subjacentes às rotinas diárias e os padrões de rotinas associados a grupos específicos de adolescentes. Participaram neste estudo 615 adolescentes do norte e centro de Portugal, homogeneamente distribuídos por sexo, com idades compreendidas entre 12 e 18 anos, frequentando a escola entre o 7º e o 12º ano. Os adolescentes preencheram uma Grelha de Rotina Diária relativa às 24 horas de um dia de semana, às 24 horas de um sábado e às 24 horas de um domingo, sendo todos estes dias considerados típicos. A análise de resultados permitiu, não só caraterizar o estilo de vida dos adolescentes, mas também identificar aspetos diferenciais, associados ao sexo, idade e ciclo de escolaridade dos adolescent
