“…Sleep disorders have negative effects on cognitive functions, school performance, and emotional and behavioural regulation and are associated with obesity, among other problems [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ]. On the other hand, the reduced practice of physical activity and sports, the screen behaviour and electronic media use (mobile devices, television, video games, and the internet) are factors that have been associated with sleep disorders in children [ 13 , 14 , 15 ].…”

Sleep disorders have significant health impacts and affect children’s performance and wellbeing. This study aims to characterise the sleep habits of Portuguese primary school children considering socioeconomic factors, daily lifestyle, presence of electronic devices in the bedrooms, and the practice of physical and sports activity (PSA) and to identify clinical factors that may be related to a child’s insufficient sleeping time. This study involved 1438 primary students. Sleep habits and problems were assessed using the short version of the Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ). The mean sleep duration was 9 h 37 min/ per night (SD = 44 min). The prevalence of global sleep disturbances was 25.8%. The main factors we identified to be positively associated with a child’s sleep deficit (i.e., <10 h) were: being older than 7 years, living further away from school, having electronic devices in the bedroom, going to bed and eating dinner later, less daily time of PSA, and having higher scores on the sleep duration subscales. Sleeping and eating habits, electronic devices in the bedroom, and a low level of engagement with PSA are associated with children’s sleep disturbance and shorter sleep duration.

“…Sleep affects both physical and mental development; a period of repair, growth, cognitive development, building memory and restoration critical hormones for brain development occur during deep nonrapid eye-movement sleep. 1 Sleep deprivation suppresses the immune system, has a detrimental impact on mood and behavior, and can lower a child's academic performance. Both sleep duration and quality are affected by the usage of mobile phones and other portable media devices commonly used by youth, 2 3 contributing to negative health effects.…”

The use of blue-light-emitting smart devices prior to bedtime has been identified as one of the reasons of increased pediatric sleep disturbances and poor sleep quantity. Interrupted sleep is a risk factor for healing and well-being in the pediatric acute ward. The aim of this project was to promote high-quality sleep within our pediatric ward by implementing a standardized protocol that eliminated exposure to electronic blue light prior to bedtime, per recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics. Our objective was to promote enhanced quantity of sleep and healing by restricting and removing all smart devices during nighttime hours in the pediatric acute ward. We utilized the Bedtime issues, Excessive daytime sleepiness, night Awakenings, Regularity and duration of Sleep, and Snoring validated screening tool, Children Sleep Habit Questionnaire, and included a survey question regarding smart device use to evaluate patients' sleep routine. After the implementation of “no screen time” innovation, patients' and parents' quantity of sleep and total restful hours was reassessed and pre/post results analyzed. The pilot project evaluated 57 patients aged 18 months to 19 years with varying admitting diagnoses. The quiet time innovation results demonstrated improved length and reported uninterrupted sleep among patients. Eliminating electronic screens during evening (sleeping) hours in the acute care setting was associated with improved sleep among pediatric patients, enhancing potential for recovery, promoting well-being, and modeling effects of limiting screen time for participants.

“…In children, sleep is important for cognition, emotion, and physical health, and disrupted sleep is a major factor affecting the development and severity of psychiatric symptoms [ 12 , 13 ]. Previous studies suggested that maternal personality traits may influence child sleep, although the effect of maternal dysfunctional personality traits on child sleep is not well known [ 14 , 15 ].…”

Objective Sleep affects the development and severity of psychiatric symptoms in children, and maternal personality traits may influence children’s sleep. We aimed to confirm the longitudinal effect of maternal personality traits on children’s sleep disturbance using cohort data from the Panel Study on Korean Children. Methods Maternal personality traits were assessed using the Personality Assessment Inventory in 2009, and the sleep disturbance of children was assessed using parent survey data from 2010 to 2014 (2nd−6th waves). Among the 11 clinical scales of the Personality Assessment Inventory, the 5 scales that showed the most significant correlations were analyzed. Presence or absence of child sleep disturbance was evaluated with a chi-square test, and the effect of the Personality Assessment Inventory was assessed by a binary logistic regression analysis with child sleep disturbance as the dependent variable. Results Of the 171 mother-child dyads, 92 were classified into the sleep disturbance group and 79 were classified into the normal sleep group. Maternal somatic concerns showed a significant relationship with children’s sleep disturbance at years 2 and 3. Maternal borderline features demonstrated a significant relationship with children’s sleep disturbance from years 2 to 5. The binary logistic regression analysis revealed a significant association between high borderline features and children’s sleep disturbance at years 2 and 3. Conclusion High maternal borderline features evaluated at child age 1 were related to sleep disturbance in early childhood. In assessing a children’s sleep problems, it may be important to examine mothers’ dysfunctional personality traits.
