“…In samples of children with disabilities, the etiologies of sleep disorders are diverse [2]. Causes may include the extent and location of brain abnormalities, severity of developmental delay, any accompanying sensory loss, epilepsy, intellectual deficits, cerebral palsy (CP), attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism, eating difficulties, and other neuropsychiatric health problems such as anxiety, hyperactivity, aggressive behavior, depression, and pain [3].…”

“…Among children with Angelman syndrome (AS), sleep problems have been reported among 20–80% of individuals, with a more recent review citing rates of 48–70% (Tietze et al, 2012; Walz, Beebe, & Byars, 2005; Williams et al, 1995). In AS, sleep problems of specific concern include insomnia (sleep initiation and sleep maintenance), parasomnia, daytime sleepiness, and sleep-related breathing problems, with reported rates varying depending on how sleep was measured (Goldman, Bichell, et al, 2012).…”

“…Although the nature of sleep problems in individuals with IDD has been a focus of research for several decades, less research has been focused on treatment options and often assessed individuals with IDD as a homogenous group with little distinction for developmental changes with age. Several literature reviews in the last decade have drawn attention to sleep problems in specific genetic syndromes or disorders, specific age groups, or targeting issues with assessment and treatment (Churchill, Kieckhefer, Landis, & Ward, 2012; Didden & Sigafoos, 2001; Doran, Harvey, Horner, & Scotti, 2006; Richdale & Baker, 2014; Tietze et al, 2012; van de Wouw, Evenhuis, & Echteld, 2012). Given the prevalence of sleep problems in individuals with IDD, there is growing need to understand the types of sleep problems experienced by this heterogeneous group of individuals with IDD, how measurement of sleep problems impacts findings, and implications for appropriate treatment of sleep problems among individuals with IDD across the lifespan.…”

Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) experience sleep problems at higher rates than the general population. Although individuals with IDD are a heterogeneous group, several sleep problems cluster within genetic syndromes or disorders. This review summarizes the prevalence of sleep problems experienced by individuals with Angelman syndrome, Cornelia de Lange syndrome, Cri du Chat syndrome, Down syndrome, fragile X syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, Smith-Magenis syndrome, Williams syndrome, autism spectrum disorder, and idiopathic IDD. Factors associated with sleep problems and the evidence for sleep treatments are reviewed for each neurodevelopmental disorder. Sleep research advancements in neurodevelopmental disorders are reviewed, including the need for consistency in defining and measuring sleep problems, considerations for research design and reporting of results, and considerations when evaluating sleep treatments.

Determinants of sleep disturbances in Rett syndrome: Novel findings in relation to genotype

Rett syndrome is a rare but severe neurological disorder associated with a mutation in the methyl CpG binding protein 2 (MECP2) gene. Sleep problems and epilepsy are two of many comorbidities associated with this disorder. This study investigated the prevalence and determinants of sleep problems in Rett syndrome using an international sample. Families with a child with a confirmed Rett syndrome diagnosis and a MECP2 mutation registered in the International Rett Syndrome Phenotype Database (InterRett) were invited to participate. Questionnaires were returned by 364/461 (78.9%) either in web-based or paper format. Families completed the Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children and provided information on the presence, nature, and frequency of their child's sleep problems. Multivariate multinomial regression was used to investigate the relationships between selected sleep problems, age group, and genotype and linear regression for the relationships between sleep disturbance scales and a range of covariates. Night waking was the most prevalent sleep problem affecting over 80% with nearly half (48.3%) currently waking often at night. Initiating and maintaining sleep was most disturbed for younger children and those with a p.Arg294* mutation. Severe seizure activity was associated with poor sleep after adjusting for age group, mutation type, and mobility. We were surprised to find associations between the p.Arg294* mutation and some sleep disturbances given that other aspects of its phenotype are milder. These findings highlight the complexities of aberrant MECP2 function in Rett syndrome and explain some of the variation in manifestation of sleep disturbances. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
