“…Our finding that parents overestimate their toddlers’ sleep by over 38 minutes compared to actigraph records is slightly longer than reports of other researchers from studies of older children (Nelson et al, 2014; Dayyat et al, 2011; Warner, Molinari, Guyer & Jenni, 2008). That there are differences in bedtime reports and sleep onset times should not be surprising because parents are not typically asked when their child fell asleep, only when the child was put to bed.…”

“…We investigated discrepancies between parent diary reports and actigraph records for four sleep characteristics – diary reports of bedtime compared to actigraph records of sleep onset, diary reports of wake time compared to actigraph records of sleep offset, total nighttime sleep (parent-reported bedtime to wake time compared to actigraph recorded sleep onset to offset) and total sleep time (total nighttime sleep plus parent-reported and actigraph recorded nap sleep). Based on previous findings of discrepancies between parent sleep diary reports and actigraph recordings in young children (Acebo et al, 2005; Dayyat et al, 2011; Nelson et al, 2014), we expected differences between parent reports and actigraph records for all four measures of sleep characteristics in toddlers.…”

“…Nelson et al (2014) reported average discrepancies of over 24 minutes between parent sleep diary entries of bedtime compared to actigraph-recorded sleep onset of children 4- to 9-year-old ( M = 6.60, SD = 1.18). Similarly, Dayyat, Spruyt, Molfese and Gozal (2011) compared parent sleep diary entries and actigraph data on 110 typically developing children 3 to 9 years of age ( M = 6.6 years, SD = 1.2 years).…”

Two sources of information (parent reported sleep diaries and actigraph records) were used to investigate how toddler sleep characteristics (bed time/sleep onset, wake time/sleep offset, total nighttime sleep and total sleep time) are related to sleep problems and temperament. There were 64 toddler participants in the study. Consistent with studies of older children, parent reports differed from actigraph based records. The findings that parent reported and actigraph recorded sleep characteristics varied as a function of parent report of toddler sleep problems and temperament add needed information on toddler sleep. Such information may contribute to improving parents’ awareness of their child’s sleep characteristics and correlates of problem sleep.

“…However, given that pediatricians generally make recommendations based on a parent’s report of children’s sleep duration rather than directly measured sleep duration, our sleep duration measurement is consistent with pediatric practice. Though parent- reported sleep duration of children consistently overestimates actigraphy-measured sleep duration by about half an hour per night(32,33), the correlation of parent-perceived sleep duration and actigraphy-measured sleep duration is high among 4–9-year-old children(32–34), with parents of older children within this age range making more accurate reports of their children’s sleep(32). Thus, because shorter parent-perceived sleep duration translates to shorter actual sleep duration, this discrepancy is not especially problematic for our study.…”

Objective To test the association between sleep duration and telomere length in a pediatric population. Study design We analyzed cross-sectional data for 1,567children from the age 9 study wave of the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study, a population-based birth cohort of children born between 1998–2000 in large American cities (population > 200,000). We measured telomere length using quantitative PCR, and children’s typical nightly sleep duration was reported by their primary caregivers. Using linear regression models, we estimated the association between sleep duration and telomere length in both unadjusted models and adjusting for a number of covariates. Results We found that children with shorter sleep durations have shorter telomeres than children with longer sleep durations. Each hour less of nightly sleep duration is associated with having telomeres that are 0.015 log-kilobases per chromosome shorter (p < 0.05). We found no difference in this association by race, sex, or socioeconomic status. Conclusions We provide preliminary evidence that children with shorter sleep durations have shorter telomeres. This finding is consistent with a broader literature indicating that sub-optimal sleep duration is a risk for increased physiological stress and impaired health. Future research should address the limitations of our study design by using longitudinal study designs and telomere measurements, measuring sleep duration via polysomnography or actigraphy, and assessing the intermediate biological mechanisms of the link between sleep and telomere dynamics.

“…For example, adults in Australia 17 and the US 25 showed an association between obesity and short/long sleep duration. Additionally, studies of young Swedish women 11 , a community prospective cohort study in Zurich 26 , Brazilian adults 27 , and a populationbased study in the US 28 showed that obesity was associated with short sleep duration. The Insulin Resistance Atherosclerosis Study…”

Obesity is a major public health burden in developed countries 1-3 and is also a well-known risk factor of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Short sleep duration is associated not only with obesity 4 , but also with diabetes mellitus 5 , heart disease 6-8 , and death. 9 An inverse relationship between inadequate sleep duration and obesity has been shown in young adults 10 , specifically in young women. 11 Associations between sleep duration and health indicators differ according to factors such as race, culture, and sex. 12 Koreans, in particular, are known to have relatively few sleep hours compared with those in other Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries. 13 However, few studies have focused on the association between sleep duration and obesity in the Korean population. Therefore, we investigated the association between sleep duration and obesity after adjusting for socioeconomic position, health behaviors, and other clinical factors. Methods 1. Study population Data were collected from the 2007-2009 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) conducted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare of Korea. 14 The survey applied a stratified, multistage probability sampling design to the South Korean population using a three-stage, stratified, systematic sampling method. The KNHANES included three questionnaires: a health interview survey, a health behavior survey, and a health examination. The health interview survey sample included 13,800 households and 31,705 household members from 600 districts. One of every three
