“…A survey of elementary school children aged 6–12 years in Hong Kong showed a high incidence of bruxism, with 20.5% of students grinding their teeth 13 . The report indicated that the sleep duration of children in Hong Kong was much shorter than that of children in the United States 14 …”

This cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate the influence of sleep habits, sleep problems, and lifestyle on sleep bruxism in Japanese elementary school children. In study 1, to confirm the reliability of replies provided by parents on children's sleep bruxism, we compared the scale of sleep bruxism frequency from questionnaires with actual sleep bruxism tooth wear in 49 elementary school children (22 males and 27 females). In study 2, a total of 1956 children (973 males, 983 females; mean age, 8.8 Ϯ 1.8 years) and parents living in metropolitan Tokyo participated. Parents answered questionnaires on sleep habits, sleep problems, and lifestyle. Participants were classified as severe bruxism group (s-Bx) and non-severe bruxism group (ns-Bx) according to the frequency of sleep bruxism. The six grades were summarized into three categories: 1st/2nd grades (grades 1/2), 3rd/4th grades (grades 3/4), and 5th/6th grades (grades 5/6). The results suggest that the incidence of sleep bruxism in Japanese children living in Tokyo is strongly related to the disturbance of sleep habits and psychological stress, which can be caused by an owl-type lifestyle in children and parents.

“…In the general population of children, the total number of hours slept in a 24 hour period decreases with age and daytime sleep decreases to near zero after four years of age [19]. The prevalence of sleep problems in the normal population is estimated to be between 18 and 37% in different studies [20,21].…”

Rett syndrome (RTT) is a severe neurological disorder, affecting mainly females. It is generally caused by mutations in the MECP2 gene. Sleep problems are thought to occur commonly in Rett syndrome, but there has been little research on prevalence or natural history. An Australian population-based registry of cases born since 1976 has been operating since 1993, with current ascertainment at 300. The Australian Rett Syndrome Database (ARSD) consists of information about Rett syndrome cases including their functional ability, behaviour, sleep patterns, medical conditions and genotype. The cases range in age from two to 29 years.The aim of this study was to investigate the type and frequency of sleep problems, relationships with age and MECP2 mutation type and to evaluate changes over time.Parents or carers of the subjects with Rett syndrome were asked to complete a questionnaire about sleep problems on three separate occasions (2000, 2002 and 2004). Regression modelling was used to investigate the relationships between sleep problems, age and mutation type. Sleep problems were identified in over 80% of cases. The prevalence of night-time laughter decreased with age and the prevalence of reported night-time seizures and daytime napping increased with age. The prevalence of sleep problems was highest in cases with a large deletion of the MECP2 gene and in those with the p.R294X or p.R306C mutations.Sleep problems are common in Rett syndrome and there is some variation with age and mutation type.

“…Appropriate and inappropriate sleep intervals were established as follows. Developmental norms were used to determine the average number of hours of sleep required for each child (Weissbluth et al, 1981). Ideal sleep and wake times were then established using these norms in conjunction with the parental goals for their child's sleep and wake times.…”

The sleep-wake cycles of 4 developmentally delayed individuals with longstanding severe sleep disturbances were regulated using a faded bedtime procedure with response cost. Bedtimes were systematically delayed for each individual, thus increasing the probability of short latency to sleep onset. The response cost component, consisting of removing the individual from bed for 1 hour, was implemented when an individual did not experience short latency to sleep onset. A fading procedure was then applied successfully to advance the bedtimes and to gradually increase durations of sleep. Specifically, all 4 individuals had decreased amounts of nighttime sleep that increased following treatment. Two of the 4 individuals showed excessive daytime sleep that decreased following treatment. Three of the 4 individuals experienced decreases in night wakings following treatment. Both environmental and biological manipulations of the sleep-wake cycle are hypothesized as mechanisms of treatment. The relative advantages of this procedure over other procedures for the treatment of pediatric sleep disorders are discussed, as are directions for future research.
