“…These discrepancies indicate a cultural difference in bedtime resistance and sleep anxiety of Turkish preschool children. Bedtime resistance was also found in studies conducted in Singapore and Taiwan (Iglowstein, et al 2003;Lo, 2016). Literature suggests that bedtime resistance is associated with sleep hygiene problems for low-income U.S. preschoolers (Wilson, et al 2015).…”

Purpose: This study aims to a) provide a detailed description of sleep habits and problems, b) to compare sleep habits and problems among 4-6-year-old typically developing Turkish children, c) to find out parental views on problem sleep behavior. Methods: Participants consisted of 702 parents. Children’s age ranged from 4 to 6 years. Demographics Information Survey and the Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) were administered to parents. Results: Across different age groups bedtime was not different for weekdays. Bedtime during weekends, however, differed across different age groups. Older children were going to bed later. Wake-up time and bedtime for weekdays differed for children who attend preschool. Children attending preschool woke up earlier and went to bed earlier. Sleep duration did not differ for both weekdays and weekends. There was no gender difference in terms of bedtime, wake-up time, and sleep duration for both weekdays and weekends. However, girls’ daytime sleepiness scores and sleep onset delay scores were higher. Conclusions: Sleep problems are prevalent among young Turkish children. Comparing the CSHQ overall and subscale scores of this study with other studies, the most important differences were seen in the bedtime resistance and the sleep anxiety subscales. These discrepancies indicate a cultural difference in bedtime resistance and sleep anxiety of Turkish preschool children. Future research should investigate the effects of parenting and discipline on sleep behavior and problems. Effective intervention programs are needed in order to reduce problems related to bedtime resistance and sleep anxiety of Turkish preschoolers.

The purpose of the present study is to examine the association between toddlers' sleep arrangements and their nighttime sleep duration and other sleep variables. For this investigation, we performed a study in which child activity and sleep levels were recorded using actigraphy. The parents of 1.5-year-old toddlers (n = 106) were asked to attach an actigraphy unit to their child’s waist with an adjustable elastic belt and complete a sleep diary for 7 consecutive days. Questionnaires were used to assess the sleep arrangements of the toddlers. There was a significant negative correlation between nap duration and nighttime sleep duration, suggesting that longer nap sleep induces shorter nighttime sleep duration. Among the sleep arrangements, such as nighttime breastfeeding or co-sleeping, only nighttime breastfeeding predicted shorter nighttime sleep duration. Our findings indicate that shorter naps induce a longer nighttime sleep in 1.5-year-old toddlers while nighttime breastfeeding decreases their nighttime sleep duration.
