“…35 However, although both parent screen time and limiting TV time were associated with child sleep duration in univariate analysis, these associations were no longer significant after controlling for demographic characteristics. Results are mixed regarding the effect of physical activity on sleep duration and quality.…”

Study Objectives: To examine the extent to which parent health behaviors and parenting practices are associated with school-age children's sleep duration. Methods: We surveyed 790 parents of children, aged 6 to 12 y, who had a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 90th percentile and were participating in a randomized controlled obesity trial. The main exposures were parent sleep duration, screen time and physical activity, parental limits placed on child TV viewing time and TV content, and parents' confidence regarding their ability to help their child get enough sleep. The primary outcome was child sleep duration. We used linear regression models to examine associations of parent behaviors and parenting practices with child sleep duration. Results: On average, children slept 9.2 h per night, whereas parents slept 6.9 h. Parents reported having an average of 1.9 h of screen time per day and 0.6 h of physical activity. There were 57.3% of parents who reported feeling very/extremely confident that they could help their child get enough sleep. In adjusted multivariate analyses, child sleep duration was 0.09 h/day (95% confidence interval: 0.03, 0.15) longer for each 1-h increment in parent sleep duration. Additionally, children whose parents reported being very/extremely confident they could help their child get age-appropriate sleep duration slept 0.67 h/day longer (95% confidence interval: 0.54, 0.81) than those whose parents were not/somewhat confident. Conclusions: Educating parents about their own sleep health and enhancing parent confidence to help their children get enough sleep are potential areas of intervention to increase child sleep duration.

“…Adolescents have later bedtimes and wake times,42 with a recommended optimal level of sleep of 8.5–9.5 h 43. However, international trends indicate a prevalence of insufficient sleep among adolescents,44 often prompted by early school-start times, academic demands, social activities and events, caffeine consumption and screen-time at night 43 45 46. For youth athletes, the training and competition schedule further exacerbates the deficiency of sleep,47–50 with preliminary evidence indicating an increased likelihood of injury with insufficient sleep 51.…”

The health, fitness and other advantages of youth sports participation are well recognised. However, there are considerable challenges for all stakeholders involvedespecially youth athletes-in trying to maintain inclusive, sustainable and enjoyable participation and success for all levels of individual athletic achievement. In an effort to advance a more unified, evidence-informed approach to youth athlete development, the IOC critically evaluated the current state of science and practice of youth athlete development and presented recommendations for developing healthy, resilient and capable youth athletes, while providing opportunities for all levels of sport participation and success. The IOC further challenges all youth and other sport governing bodies to embrace and implement these recommended guiding principles.

“…Beyond screen media use, the presence and number of screens in the bedroom is also associated with poor sleep quality [65, 66], delayed bedtime [58], and decreased sleep duration [54, 58, 61, 66] among children and adolescents. For example, 9- to 12-year-old children with screens in their bedrooms sleep less than peers without screens.…”

In this brief review article, we provide an overview of recent (since 2010) scientific contributions to our understanding of the social and environmental determinants of sleep health. In particular, we focus on three areas where we saw the most contributions to the determinants of sleep health among children, adolescents, and adults. First, studies of neighborhood context and sleep health find that sleep quality and quantity are lower in disadvantaged neighborhoods. These negative associations are often stronger for women than for men. Second, family factors matter for sleep health. Children from families with more parental resources sleep better than do children from families without such resources. Adults with children sleep less than those without, and work-family conflict is an impediment to good sleep. Third, media use is problematic for sleep health. Around the world, higher levels of screen media use are associated with lower quality and quantity of sleep. Future research on the social and environmental determinants of sleep health will grow out of these three areas of current research. In addition, we anticipate new research in the international realm and in the area of interventions designed to improve the population’s sleep health.
