“…24 Moreover, several studies that used BEARS revealed its effectiveness in detecting sleep problems among children. 17,18 In our study, more than one-third of the children did not have regular bedtime or wake time, and bedtime was at about 10:00 PM. This sleep pattern is not recommended as children of all ages should go to bed before 9:00 PM.…”

“…17 Another recent study demonstrated that the BEARS was a useful screening tool for sleep problems among children with monosymptomatic enuresis. 18 In the present study, we aimed to investigate sleep disturbances in a sample of preschoolers attending outpatient clinics using simple screening tool and examine the sleep habits of this sample and the possible predictors of their sleep problems. We hypothesized that sleep problems are common among Egyptian preschoolers, and we expect a significant association between sleep disturbances and habits.…”

Objective: Sleep problems are common among preschoolers. We conducted this study to investigate sleep problems in a sample of Egyptian preschoolers attending pediatric outpatient clinics and examine the relationship between their sleep problems, patterns, and hygiene. Methods: The parents of 319 preschoolers, aged 2-5 years, completed the BEARS(which represent the five major sleep domains,i.e.,bedtime problems, excessive daytime sleepiness, awakenings during the night, regularity and duration of sleep, and snoring) questionnaire in Arabic and a short survey on their educational status, significant medical problems and/or their child's medications , and sleeping habits. Results: The frequency of bedtime problems, excessive daytime sleepiness, awakenings during the night, regularity of sleep, and snoring were 58.9%, 17.9%, 31%, 60.5%, and 20.4%, respectively. More than a third of the samples had poor sleep hygiene practices, ranging from 41.7% to 70.5%. Multivariate analyses revealed that age and body mass index (BMI) are predictors of bedtime problems. Conclusions: Our findings indicate that sleep problems and poor sleep hygiene are common among this sample of preschoolers. This study also suggests an association between age and BMI and sleep disturbances.
