“…Although simply following the same general daily routines in early childhood has been associated with increased sleep duration [46], research has demonstrated that engaging in a regular bedtime routine is particularly beneficial for multiple aspects of early childhood sleep [19]. Cross-sectional, longitudinal, and intervention studies (Table 1), have provided robust evidence that following a bedtime routine is associated with a number of positive sleep outcomes, including an earlier bedtime, decreased sleep onset latency, reduced nighttime awakenings, increased sleep duration, and enhanced caregiver-reported sleep quality [19].…”

This paper presents a conceptual model and reviews the empirical evidence to support a nightly bedtime routine as a key factor in the promotion of not only healthy sleep, but also of broad development and wellbeing in early childhood. A bedtime routine embodies the characteristics of nurturing care and early child stimulation, which are deemed to be essential for positive outcomes, especially for at-risk children. Furthermore, common, adaptive components of a bedtime routine can contribute to an array of positive developmental outcomes beyond improved sleep, inclusive of language development, literacy, child emotional and behavioral regulation, parent-child attachment, and family functioning, among other outcomes. These bedtime routine components include activities in the broad domains of nutrition (e.g., feeding, healthy snack), hygiene (e.g., bathing, oral care), communication (e.g., reading, singing/lullabies) and physical contact (e.g., massage, cuddling/rocking). A bedtime routine can provide multiple benefits to child and family functioning at a time of day that many parents are present with their children. Although additional research on hypothesized routine-related child outcomes and mechanisms of action are needed, promoting a bedtime routine may be a feasible and cost-effective method to promote positive early childhood development worldwide, particularly for socioeconomically disadvantaged and other at-risk young children.

“…Positive routines consist of a series of pleasurable calming activities undertaken during wakefulness to facilitate sleep onset (Gruber et al 2011 ). A routine is defined as a repetitive and observable behaviour pattern (Koulougliti et al 2008 ), which contains five to seven activities and takes between 30 and 40 min to complete (Durand 1998 ). Completion of each step of a routine is praised informing the child of the transition to the next step (Morgenthaler et al 2006 ).…”

Sleep disorders affect a large portion of those with autism spectrum disorder. Behavioural interventions have been found to increase appropriate sleep behaviours. This study sought to examine the efficacy of two stimulus control interventions (bedtime fading and positive routines) on total sleep duration, sleep onset latency and frequency and duration of night wakings for children with autism using two multiple baseline designs. Secondary dependent variables, namely, educational opportunities, challenging behaviours, parent acceptance and social validity were also analysed. Results suggest some efficacy for both interventions. Increased total sleep duration and decreased sleep onset latency were achieved with bedtime fading. Positive routines showed mixed results with decreased sleep onset latency and increased total sleep duration for two of three participants.

“…In addition, instilling routines (e.g. schedules, family meals) and limits around screen time has been shown to be protective of children's sleep duration (Koulouglioti et al, 2014;Ray, Kalland, Lehto, & Roos, 2013). One relationship that has not been examined is that of parental feeding practices in relation to children's sleep duration.…”

Summary This study examined parenting styles, parenting practices and family practices that may be associated with weeknight sleep duration among 8‐ to 10‐year‐old Mexican American (MA) children. This cross‐sectional study of MA children used baseline data from a 2‐year cohort study of mother–child pairs (n = 308) with additional data on fathers (n = 166). Children's weeknight sleep duration was accelerometer estimated and averaged for 2 weeknights. Parents reported on their parenting styles and practices regarding food and family food‐related practices. Multivariable linear regression analysis was used to examine sleep duration with parenting styles and practices, and family practices, and adjusting for child gender and body mass index. Model 1 included mothers’ parenting styles and practices; Model 2 included both mothers’ and fathers’ parenting styles and practices. Children's average sleep duration was 9.5 (SD = 0.8) hr. Mothers who used pressure to encourage their children to eat and those who used food to control behavior had children with longer sleep duration (β = 0.21, p < 0.01; β = 0.15, p = 0.03, respectively). Mothers who reported their children ate dinner with the TV on and those who valued eating dinner as a family had children with shorter sleep duration (β = −0.16, p = 0.01; β = −0.18, p = 0.01, respectively). Fathers who restricted the amount of food their children ate had children with shorter sleep duration (β = −0.27, p = 0.01). Mothers’ and fathers’ feeding practices, the child's eating dinner with the TV on, and valuing family dinners, played a role in children's weeknight sleep duration among Mexican American families. Parental feeding practices and family mealtime contexts may have an effect on children's weeknight sleep duration.
