“…Mao et al conducted a comparative study including babies from 3 to 15 months and found that babies who practiced co-sleeping had more nocturnal awakenings than babies who slept alone [ 11 ]. Fernandez-Miaja et al, in a study carried out on children under two years of age in a setting very similar to that of our study, reported a mean value of 10.4 h of night sleep and a mean value of 1.9 h of day sleep time, which are consistent with our findings [ 28 ]. On the contrary, the number of nocturnal awakenings found in our study was higher (2.0 vs 1.2).…”

This study aimed to investigate the association between co-sleeping practiced during the first year of life and preschoolers' sleep patterns. A cross-sectional study including toddlers was designed to analyze their sleep patterns. The Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire, validated in Spanish, was used to measure sleep quality. A latent class analysis was performed to identify qualitative subgroups in the sample and explore the effects of co-sleeping. The sleep patterns of 276 children were analyzed. A total of 181 (65%) parents reported having practiced co-sleeping with their children. The latent class analysis identified a two-class solution with two different sleep patterns. One of them showed a worse quality sleep pattern, which had a significant association with having practiced co-sleeping during the first year of life, and with the fact that they were still sleeping in the parents' room, among other characteristics related to co-sleeping and parental concerns. Breastfeeding also showed association with a worse quality sleep pattern. Conclusion: Based on the present findings, co-sleeping during the first year of life appears to be associated with poor sleep patterns in young preschoolers. What is Known:• Co-sleeping shows benefits for infants and parents, mainly facilitating successful breastfeeding.• Literature on the effect of co-sleeping in lately sleep quality in children and their parents is very limited. What is New:• Co-sleeping practiced during the first year of life could be associated with a worse sleep pattern measured with BISQ-E tool.• A balance between the correct practice of co-sleeping and the achievement of a healthy sleep routine in preschool should probably be part of parents' health education.

Purpose This study aimed to investigate the association between co-sleeping practiced during the first year of life and preschoolers' sleep patterns. Methods A prospective, cross-sectional study was designed to analyze including preschoolers between the ages of 12 and 30 months. The Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire validated in Spanish was used to measure sleep quality. A latent class analysis was performed to identify qualitative subgroups in the sample and explore the effects of co-sleeping and other variables. Results The sleep patterns of 276 children were finally analyzed. A total of 181 (65.6%) mothers reported having practiced co-sleeping with their children. The latent class analysis identified a two-class solution with two different sleep patterns. One of them showed a worse quality sleep pattern. This pattern, defined as "Sleep-Disordered Pattern", showed a significant association with having practiced co-sleeping during the first year of life. In the logistic regression model, having practiced co-sleeping during the first year resulted to be independently associated with the "Sleep-Disordered Pattern" (odds ratio 2.83). Conclusions Based on the present findings co-sleeping during the first year of life appears to be associated with poor sleep patterns of young preschoolers.

“…However, most studies included in the analysis were cross‐sectional, meaning that assessment of short and long sleep was based on population norms and typically assessed only one point in children's sleep development. Given that childhood is a period of significant sleep transition, examination of sleep in this manner may not accurately depict dynamic patterning of sleep (Fernández Miaja et al., ; Taylor, Williams, Farmer, & Taylor, ). However, as this systematic review included studies from a range of ages across childhood, our findings still align with usual patterns of change in sleep duration observed throughout the literature.…”

Summary Short and long sleep patterns in children have been associated with a range of poor health outcomes. However, there is no consensus regarding the definitions of these abnormal sleep parameters in childhood for use in paediatric research. Given that there is a clear lack of definitions for sleep duration throughout paediatric sleep literature, this review aimed to establish recommendations for standard cut‐offs of short and long sleep for children aged 1–16 years to enable homogeneity in future studies of paediatric sleep duration. Four databases were systematically searched to identify prospective studies that defined short or long sleep patterns in children. Included papers (38) were assessed for methodological quality, and their definitions were extracted to examine the current applied cut‐offs in the literature for short or long sleep duration. The definitions were analysed in a regression model to summarize applied cut‐offs from subjective data into cut‐offs for short and long sleep duration. These models were fitted to reference values of three commonly cited paediatric population studies to establish new definitions of sleep duration for future use in research. Across the age groups there was little consensus in applied cut‐offs for short and long sleep duration. This study found the best compromise for short sleep was defined as the 2.5th centile (hours = 0.25*age + 11) and long sleep as the 97.5th centile (hours = 0.017*age2 − 0.68*age + 16) of sleep duration in children. Recommendations for the hourly cut‐offs of short and long sleep duration based on these percentiles were described.
