“…Good eating or sleeping habits, including balanced food intake and regular meal or sleep time, are beneficial to children’s physical and mental health ( 26 ). This study did not find a relationship between a only sleep problem and social-emotional development in young children, which is contrary to previous research ( 11 ). This may be because the parents in this sample reported lower rates of only sleeping problems and some parents were not concerned about sleeping problems in their children.…”

“…A cross-sectional study of 7,179 three-year-old children found that those who had a partial eclipse, such as eating vegetables less frequently, scored higher in social-emotional problems ( 10 ). Additionally, a case-control study showed that 3- to 6- year-olds who got inadequate sleep (less than 9 h) and went to bed late (after 23:01) had higher scores for social-emotional problems ( 11 ).…”

BackgroundParents’ parenting beliefs have a major influence on their children’s eating and sleeping problems and emotional socialization. However, the relationship between parent’s concerns about eating or sleeping problems and social-emotional development is unclear.MethodsWe used a convenience sampling method to investigate 997 parents of preschool children aged 3 to 6 in Hangzhou, China, and asked them to complete the “Ages & Stages Questionnaire: Social-Emotional (2nd Edition)” (ASQ: SE-2) and the Survey of Concerns about Children’s Eating and Sleeping Problems. To examine the relationship between children’s social-emotional development and their parents’ concerns about their eating or sleeping problems, binary logistic regression was used.ResultsThere were 218 children (21.9%) with a suspected social-emotional development delay, and 273 parents (27.4%) were concerned about their children’s eating or sleeping problems, which mainly focused on ill-balanced eating, bad eating habits, and difficulty falling asleep. The rate of suspected social-emotional development delay in children with the co-occurrence of eating and sleeping problems (37.8%) was significantly higher than those with only eating problems (29.7%), only sleeping problems (24.4%), and those with no eating or sleeping problems (18.8%) (p < 0.05). A binary logistic regression analysis showed that parents’ concerns about the co-occurrence of eating and sleeping problems (OR = 2.52, p = 0.01) and only eating problems (OR = 1.71, p = 0.004) were risk factors for children’s social-emotional development. In addition, boys were more likely than girls to have suspected social-emotional development delay (OR = 1.49, p = 0.01).ConclusionChildren whose parents were concerned about only eating or the co-occurrence of eating and sleeping problems were linked to have a higher risk of suspected social-emotional development delay.

“…Poor sleep habits may trigger impairments in cognitive and behavioural functioning [ 1 , 2 ], including lower academic performance [ 3 ], reduced attentional capacities (e.g., [ 4 ]), and poor executive functioning [ 5 ]. A suboptimal quality of sleep has also been associated with adverse and challenging anti-social behaviours [ 6 ], such as aggression, tantrums, non-compliance, and impulsivity [ 2 , 7 , 8 ]. Sleep disturbances have been found to be predictors of a reduced quality of life, related to stress, depression, and overall family functioning [ 9 , 10 ].…”

Objective: The aim of the current study was to examine the potential relationship between sleep patterns, cortisol levels, and anxiety profiles in adolescents with Williams Syndrome (WS) compared to typically developing adolescents. Method: Thirteen adolescents with WS and thirteen TD adolescents (age range 12–18 years) were recruited. Participants were provided with a “testing kit”, containing instructions for collecting data through a sleep diary, MotionWare actigraphy, the Childhood Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ), and the Spence Children’s Anxiety Scale, and a salivary cortisol collection kit. Results: Adolescents in the WS group did not show diurnal variation in salivary cortisol. Significantly higher scores were reported for two CSHQ subsections, night wakings and parasomnias, in the WS group. Regarding the actigraphy, only significantly longer sleep latency was observed in the WS group. In comparison to the TD group, the WS group had significantly higher anxiety. As expected, the TD group showed typical diurnal variation in cortisol, whereas the WS group showed a flattened cortisol profile throughout the day. Conclusions: From the developmental perspective, this study provides new data supporting the conclusion that sleep problems are not transient but continue to persist into adolescence in WS. Future studies ought to consider examining the role of cortisol and its interplay with anxiety levels and sleep problems across the lifespan in individuals with WS.

Background: Previous research studies have suggested the importance of studying the relationship between emotional regulation and sleep habits. Some investigations have especially focused on how emotional regulation could impact sleep habits in children and adolescents. Therefore, these researchers have stated there exists a two-way direction in this relationship. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the influence of emotional regulation on sleep habits in Spanish children and adolescents and the mediating role of anxiety in this relationship. Method: Participants were 953 Spanish parents who completed the assessment protocol according to their children and adolescents’ information. Results: The results revealed moderate–strong correlations between emotional regulation problems and sleep habit disturbances (r = 0.375, p < 0.001), trait (r = 0.488, p < 0.001) anxiety, and state (r = 0.589, p < 0.001) anxiety. Additionally, emotional regulation showed a direct impact on sleep habits (β = 0.011, p = 0.005). Trait and state anxiety demonstrated a significant mediating role in the relationship between emotional regulation and sleep habits. Conclusions: Emotional regulation may have an impact on sleep habits during childhood and adolescence, suggesting the importance of early intervention focused on the emotions management and the prevention of sleep habit disturbances.
