“…Sleep problems are observed in approximately 10% to 25% of typically developing children and adolescents, 62,63 but the prevalence is significantly higher in children with ID and ASD, ranging from 36% to 73%. [64][65][66][67][68] There have been very few published studies documenting the prevalence and patterns of sleep problems in people with FXS.…”

Fragile X Syndrome: A Review of Associated Medical Problems

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most common known genetic cause of inherited intellectual disability and the most common known singlegene cause of autism spectrum disorder. It has been reported that a spectrum of medical problems are commonly experienced by people with FXS, such as otitis media, seizures, and gastrointestinal problems. Previous studies examining the prevalence of medical problems related to FXS have been challenging to interpret because of their marked differences in population, setting, and sampling. Through this comprehensive review, we update the literature by reviewing studies that have reported on prominent medical problems associated with FXS. We then compare prevalence results from those studies with results from a large cross-sectional database consisting of data collected by fragile X clinics that specialize in the care of children with FXS and are part of the Fragile X Clinical and Research Consortium. It is vital for pediatricians and other clinicians to be familiar with the medical problems related to FXS so that affected patients may receive proper diagnosis and treatment; improved care may lead to better quality of life for these patients and their families.

“…17 A number of studies have also examined environmental and behavioral factors related to sleep, including television and screen time viewing, the presence of a television in the bedroom, noise and light disturbances, urban living, inconsistent sleep schedules, and poor or irregular sleep routines, and found relationships with excessive weight gain and obesity. [24][25][26][27][28][29] Television and screen time viewing and the presence of a television in the bedroom, in particular, negatively influenced sleep duration in young children. [24][25][26][27] Wilson et al examined sleep environments of preschool-aged children and found that environments that were too hot, cold, bright, or loud decreased nighttime sleep duration by 27 minutes.…”

Regulations to Promote Healthy Sleep Practices in Child Care

2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT: Previous studies have examined state regulations for child care facilities and found substantial variation among states. None of these studies examined regulations related to healthy sleep practices, which is an important and often overlooked intervention target for obesity prevention. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS:We reviewed state regulations related to healthy sleep in child care and compared them to recent national recommendations put forth by the Institute of Medicine. We found that many states lacked regulations, highlighting an important and timely opportunity for improvement.abstract OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to assess state licensing and administrative regulations promoting healthy sleep practices in child care and to compare these regulations to national recommendations. METHODS:We reviewed regulations related to healthy sleep practices for all states and territories for both child care centers (centers) and family child care homes (homes). We compared regulations with Institute of Medicine recommendations to promote sleep in child care, including (1) create environments that ensure restful sleep; (2) encourage sleeppromoting behaviors and practices; (3) encourage practices that promote child self-regulation of sleep; and (4) seek consultation yearly from a sleep expert. We used Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel trend tests to assess associations between geographic region and number of regulations consistent with the recommendations. RESULTS:The mean number of regulations for states was 0.9 for centers and 0.8 for homes out of a possible 4.0. For centers, no state had regulations for all 4 recommendations; 11 states had regulations for 2 of the 4 recommendations. For homes, 9 states had regulations for 2 of the recommendations. States in the Northeast had the greatest mean number of regulations for centers (1.2) and homes (1.1), and states in the South had the fewest (0.7 and 0.7, respectively); these geographic differences were significant for centers (P = .03) but not homes (P = .14).CONCLUSIONS: More states in the Northeast had regulations consistent with the Institute of Medicine sleep recommendations, but overall few states had regulations consistent with the recommendations.

“…Along with insufficient sleep duration (which has already been mentioned), the most common sleep "problem" among youth is poor sleep hygiene (Mindell, Meltzer, Carskadon, & Chervin, 2009). These unhealthy sleep habits include irregular sleep schedules, the consumption of caffeine in the late afternoon or evening, and technology in the bedroom.…”

“…A single night of significant sleep loss (3 hr) has been shown to negatively impact outcomes in preschoolers (Schumacher et al, 2016). But it is more common for youth to chronically experience small amount of sleep loss (e.g., 30-60 min) every night across the school week, especially if there is technology in the bedroom (Buxton et al, 2015;Mindell et al, 2009). What role does this cumulative sleep debt have on the onset and/or maintenance of developmental psychopathology?…”
