“…Parent estimates of their child's sleeping hours are highly correlated with sleep time measured in the laboratory [22]. Objective assessments of sleep duration, movement during sleep and night awakenings are also correlated in infants [21,23]. TOUCHETTE et al [20] reported that young children with frequent nocturnal awakening slept 1.5 h less than children without frequent awakenings.…”

“…Children who awoke twice a week or less were defined as having normal sleep. Parent assessment of night awakenings is well correlated with sleep duration in children and other objective measures of sleep [20][21][22]. SADEH [23] found significant correlations between parent-reported night awakenings in infants over the past week, sleep duration and actigraph measurements of movement during sleep.…”

Sleep deprivation has become a common phenomenon of the Western world and is associated with a variety of medical problems in children. This retrospective longitudinal analysis of a community-based birth cohort was undertaken to determine whether frequent nocturnal awakening during early life was associated with the development of childhood asthma.2,398 children born to mothers recruited from the antenatal clinics of a single hospital in Perth, Australia during 1989-1991 were followed up at years 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 10 and 14. Parent-completed questionnaires were analysed. The odds ratio for asthma at age 6 and 14 yrs in children with frequent nocturnal awakening during the first 3 yrs after birth was determined from multiple logistic regression.Following adjustment for asthma risk factors, co-sleeping and family stress, persistent nocturnal awakening was associated with nonatopic asthma at age 6 and 14 yrs (at age 14 yrs: OR 2.18, 95% CI 1.15-4.13) but not with atopic asthma.We found an increased risk of nonatopic asthma in children following frequent nocturnal awakening during the first 3 yrs of life. These hypothesis-generating data suggest the need for further systematic study of the effects of disordered sleep in early life on the development of asthma.

“…These findings are particularly important, since sleep quality has been associated with cognitive development in young infants (more motor activity in sleep and more fragmented sleep pattern is associated with lower mental developmental) (Scher, 2005) and with caregiving quality (Brummett et al, 2006). The relationship between children's attachment quality and cortisol levels in the evening, may not only benefit the dyad's sleep quality but also increase the mothers' emotional availability during this important period, by reducing their levels of stress.…”

This study investigated the relationship between diurnal adrenocortical activity and attachment quality (children's secure base behaviours and mothers' attachment representations). Forty-two children ranging in age from 18 to 26 months of age and their mothers participated in this study. Children and mothers' saliva samples were collected on two consecutive days (Saturday and Sunday), three times per day: awakening; 20m after awakening; bedtime. No significant relationships were found involving mothers' attachment representations. However, significant negative correlations between children and mothers' bedtime cortisol levels and children's attachment security were found.

“…Progressive lengthening of sleep periods was related to better mental development in later life, with long periods of uninterrupted sleep predicting better mental development at 12 months (Anders, Keener, & Kraemer, 1985). Therefore, sleep is an important determinant of infants' developmental outcomes (Arditi-Babchuk et al, 2009;A. Scher, 2005).…”

Caregiving and positioning effects on preterm infant states over 24 hours in a neonatal unit in Taiwan

In this prospective, descriptive study, we used a repeatedmeasures design to explore the 24-hour effects of caregiving and positioning on preterm infants' states and the factors associated with state changes. Thirty preterm infants (gestational age 27.6-36.1 weeks) were observed for 3 days in the neonatal intensive care unit to record six states: quiet sleep (QS), active sleep, transition, active awake, quiet awake, and fussy or crying. The occurrences of QS increased when infants received no caregiving, social interaction, non-nutritive sucking (NNS), and were laterally positioned. However, QS significantly decreased and fussy or crying state increased when infants received routine and intrusive caregiving. These results suggest that caregiving, NNS, and positioning should be appropriately provided to facilitate infants' sleep, and reduce fussiness or crying. ß
