“…Developmental studies of solitary sleeping infants consistently find a large increase in time spent in quiet sleep during the months when infants are at highest risk of SIDS. This could be important to the hypothesis about the role of arousal in SIDS since arousal threshold is thought to be high in the delta portion of quiet sleep (27)(28)(29). Our finding that co-sleeping may reduce or limit the amount of stage 3-4 sleep suggests that the arousal response might be enhanced and some infants protected by co-sleeping: co-sleeping might prevent the premature emergence of large amounts of quiet sleep seen when infants sleep in isolation.…”

McKenna JJ, Mosko SS. Sleep and arousal, synchrony and independence, among mothers and infants sleeping apart and together (same bed): an experiment in evolutionary medicine. Acta Pzdiatr 1994;(Suppl 397):94-102. Stockholm. ISSN 0803-5326Although solitary sleeping in infancy is a very recent custom, limited to Western industrialized societies, and most contemporary people practice parent-infant co-sleeping, virtually all laboratory research on sleep in human infants assumes that solitary infant sleep is the normal and desirable environment. We have used evolutionary and developmental data to challenge this view. We suggest that co-sleeping provides a sensory-rich environment which is the more appropriate environment in which to study infant sleep. In addition, two preliminary, in-laboratory, polygraphic investigations of mother-infant co-sleeping are reported in normal infants, within the peak age range for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Five mother-infant pairs co-slept one night in the first study; in the second, three additional pairs slept separately for two nights and co-slept the third consecutive night. The results suggest that co-sleeping is associated with enhanced infant arousals and striking temporal overlap (synchronicity) in infant and maternal arousals, and that, possibly as a result, co-sleeping mothers and infants spend more time in the same sleep stage or awake condition. The implications of the hypothesis and preliminary results for research on the normal development of infant sleep and on SIDS are discussed. 0 Co-sleeping, infant sleep, overlapping arousals, sudden infant death syndrome ( S I D S ) , synchrony

The regulation of sleep and arousal: Development and psychopathology

Throughout early development, a child spends more time asleep than in any waking activity. Yet, the specific role of sleep in brain maturation is a complete mystery. In this article, the developmental psychobiology of sleep regulation is conceptualized within the context of close links to the control of arousal, affect, and attention. The interactions among these systems are considered from an ontogenetic and evolutionary biological perspective. A model is proposed for the development of sleep and arousal regulation with the following major tenets:1. Sleep and vigilance represent opponent processes in a larger system of arousal regulation.2. The regulation of sleep, arousal, affect, and attention overlap in physiological, neuroanatomical, clinical, and developmental domains.3. Complex interactions among these regulatory systems are modulated and integrated in regions of the prefrontal cortex (PFC).4. Changes at the level of PFC underlie maturational shifts in the relative balance across these regulatory systems (such as decreases in the depth/length of sleep and increased capacity for vigilance and attention), which occur with normal development.5. The effects of sleep deprivation (including alterations in attention, emotions, and goal-directed behaviors) also involve changes at the level of PFC integration across regulatory systems.This model is then discussed in the context of developmental pathology in the control of affect and attention, with an emphasis on sleep changes in depression.

“…This epidemic of sleep and circadian problems in adolescence can be best understood within a developmental perspective that considers interactions between biological and social changes at the onset of puberty. Biologically, there are three sets of normal maturational changes in adolescence that create an increased vulnerability to sleep problems: (1) nighttime sleep becomes lighter (less deep stage 4 sleep) and more prone to external disruptions (Busby, Mercier, & Pivik, 1994;Busby & Pivik, 1983;Jenni, Achermann, & Carskadon, 2005); (2) daytime sleepiness increases during puberty, probably reflecting an increased need for sleep during this period of rapid physical growth, cognitive development, and emotional changes (Carskadon, 2002b;; and (3) biological changes in the circadian system at puberty shift sleep timing preferences in the direction of a delayed sleep phase (Carskadon, 2005;Lee, Hummer, & Jechura, 2004). These biological changes interact with social and psychological influences on sleep and schedules in adolescence in ways that often lead to very late bedtimes.…”

Biopsychosocial Regulatory Processes in the Development of Childhood Behavioral Problems

This page intentionally left blank biopsychosocial regulatory processes in the development of childhood behavioral problemsIn this timely volume, leading behavioral scientists describe recent advances in our understanding of the multiple biopsychosocial regulatory processes underlying the development of children's behavior disorders. A full spectrum of regulatory influences is addressed, ranging from genes to cultural factors. Individual chapters highlight the importance of developing research paradigms that synthesize biological, behavioral, and social-ecological influences and of viewing self-regulation as a complex system that reorganizes across development. The regulatory foundations of a diverse range of childhood behavior problems are examined, including anxiety, social withdrawal, depression, conduct problems, inattention and impulsivity, and sleep problems.
