“…Less is known about the way natal-family characteristics are associated with other activities, especially children's time spent on leisure activities and sleep (a few exceptions include Gracia et al 2019;Hawkins and Takeuchi 2016;Holstein et al 2019). It also remains unclear whether these educational gradients reflect variation in parenting approaches among parents with different levels of educational attainment, or whether they are instead a proxy for family economic resources (e.g., Doepke and Zilibotti 2019;Lareau 2003Lareau , 2011.…”

BACKGROUND How children spend their day is closely linked to their social and developmental outcomes. Children's time use is associated with their parents' educational and economic capital, making time use a potential reproduction channel for socioeconomic inequalities. OBJECTIVE We evaluate the correlation of natal-family economic resources, parents' education, and children's daily time use in Japan. METHODS Analysing data from a 2006 Japanese time use survey, we use natal-family income, parental education, and the interaction between them to predict in-school and afterschool study time, leisure time, and sleep time for children aged 10-18. RESULTS Children from families with higher incomes and more-educated parents spend a longer time studying after school and less time on sleep and leisure. Parental income and mothers' and fathers' education are all independently associated with children's daily patterns. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that available resources and parental education are important in shaping children's daily routines and, through these routines, their eventual socioeconomic outcomes.

“…Less than 7 hr of sleep was more common among students with a self-reported poor economic situation, compared with students who reported their family financial status as average or good in our study. Sleep problems among Danish students aged 11-15 were found to be more common among students in families with lower socioeconomic status (Holstein et al, 2019). We do not know the reasons for this, but a hypothesis is that more presleep worries shorten sleep duration and increase sleep problems.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the association between sleep duration, overweight/obesity, and school failure using data obtained from self-reported questionnaires completed by 13- to 15-year-olds in Sweden ( n = 1,363; 50.7% female). The height and weight of the participants were measured by school nurses. A multiple logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the association between sleep duration and overweight/obesity, school failure, and perceived economic situation. A short sleep duration (<7 hr) was associated with overweight/obesity ( p = .001), school failure ( p = .007), and poorer perceived economic situation ( p = .004). Modifying the sleep habits of adolescents is a potential target for obesity intervention as well as for improving school success. This information is particularly well suited for school nurses to disseminate to students and their parents.

“…Sleep quantity and quality have decreased considerably among young people in recent decades [19,32]. This study aims at a holistic assessment of how the sleep habits of elementary school children-as indicated by bedtime, wake-up time, sleep duration, and daytime sleepiness-are associated with lifestyle, familial, and social factors.…”

“…Children's lifestyle habits are related to familial and social factors, such as parental habits and affluence [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. Children's sleep habits are also influenced by their families; children's night-oriented lifestyle has been attributed to family members' later bedtimes as well as nighttime media consumption and electronic device use [1].…”

Social and Family Factors as Determinants of Sleep Habits in Japanese Elementary School Children: A Cross-Sectional Study from the Super Shokuiku School Project

This study explored the associations of lifestyle, familial, and social factors with sleep habits in 1882 elementary school children, aged 6–13 years, from the Super Shokuiku School Project in January 2016. A survey assessed sex, grade, sleep habits, lifestyle, social background, and parental lifestyle. Bedtime “≥22:00,” wake-up time “≥07:00,” sleep duration “<8 h,” and “daytime sleepiness” were defined as poor sleep habits; correlates were analyzed using logistic regression. Skipping breakfast was consistently significantly associated with poor sleep, especially among children with late wake-up times (adjusted odds ratio 5.45; 95% confidence interval 3.20–9.30). Excessive screen time was associated with late bed and wake-up times. Physical inactivity was significantly associated with daytime sleepiness. Children of mothers with poor lifestyle habits were likely to go to bed late and feel sleepy the next day. Social and family factors were associated with children’s sleep habits. Several behaviors, including skipping breakfast, excessive screen time, and physical inactivity, were associated with poor sleep habits, manifesting as a night-oriented lifestyle. Although a longitudinal study is needed to determine causality, in addition to sleep education for children, sleep education for parents and society at large may be necessary to improve children’s sleep habits.
