“…Further, children with ASD had more severe sleep disturbances in overall including: bedtime resistance, sleep onset delay, sleep duration, sleep anxiety, night waking, and parasomnias compared to typically developing children. Moreover, these findings appear to be consistent across Western countries, as a number of studies have documented similar findings in children with ASD from Australia [20], Canada [21], and the United Kingdom, [17], and other Western countries [2,11,22,23].…”

Sleep disturbances in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) exist worldwide, but little is known about this issue in non-Western cultures. This study aimed to characterize sleep disturbances in Chinese children with ASD and to examine associated sociodemographic factors and emotional/behavioral problems. Parents of 60 Chinese children with ASD (aged 6-17 years) from Shenzhen, China completed the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ), and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Sleep disturbances were severe and common, with rates of 70.0% for overall disturbances and 15.0% (daytime sleepiness) to 40.0% (sleep duration) for specific domains. The severity and rate of sleep disturbances were higher compared to previous studies in typically developing children from the same region of China and American children with ASD, respectively. Further, there were significant correlations between most CSHQ and SDQ domains. Female gender, older parental age, higher hyperactivity, and poorer prosocial behavior were associated with increased overall sleep disturbances.

“…Polysomnographic studies (PSG: a technique which measures electrical activity of the brain and body allowing us to determine sleep stages) have further demonstrated sleep abnormalities as indicated by decreased REM latency and shorter total sleep time (Miano et al 2007;Elia et al 2000).

Sleep changes throughout the lifespan, with particularly salient alterations occurring during the first few years of life, as well as during the transition from childhood to adolescence. Such changes are partly the result of brain maturation; complex changes in the organisation of the circadian system; as well as changes in daily routine, environmental demands and responsibilities.Despite the automaticity of sleep, given that it is governed by a host of complex mechanisms, there are times when sleep becomes disturbed. Sleep disturbances in childhood are common and may stem from behavioural difficulties or abnormalities in physiological processes and, in some cases manifest into diagnosable sleep disorders. As well as occurring exclusively, childhood sleep disturbances often co--occur with other difficulties. The purpose of this chapter is to outline the neurobiology of typical sleep/wake processes, and describe changes in sleep physiology and architecture from birth to adulthood. Furthermore, common childhood sleep disorders are described as are their associations with other traits, including all of the syndromes presented in this handbook: ASDs, ADHD, schizophrenia, and emotional/ behavioural difficulties. Throughout, we attempt to explain possible mechanisms underlying these disorders and their associations.

Определяется также увеличение продолжитель-ности 1-й стадии ФМС при уменьшении продолжитель-ности 2-й стадии и так называемого медленноволнового сна (3-я и 4-я стадии ФМС), меньшее число сонных вере-тен во 2-й стадии [24].…”
