“…There was a trend toward lower levels of child-reported sleep problems for children from mothers who had received more years of education (Table 3). This complements research showing a positive relation between parental education and sleep duration and quality (Cameron et al, 2022).…”

Exposure to war is known to impact children’s physical and mental health. Recent research reveals that war exposure might even affect the developmental outcomes of children who are yet to be conceived. In this study, we sought to extend such prior work by investigating longitudinal associations between pre-conception war exposure and the accompanying maternal emotional distress on child sleep. Israeli mothers, who conceived within a year after the Lebanon war in 2006 ( N = 68), were followed until their children reached 10 years of age. At that age, child sleep problems were measured through mother and child reports. Results from analyses of covariances (ANCOVAs) showed that war exposure prior to conception itself did not predict child sleep. However, hierarchical regression analyses showed that higher levels of maternal emotional distress, as a result of pre-conception war exposure, predicted more sleep problems in girls. Further exploratory analyses revealed that these associations showed themselves in both maternal and child reports on various sleep domains. In boys, no evidence was found for associations between maternal emotional distress during wartime and sleep 10 years later. These results indicate that war-related pre-conception stress might have long-term, sex-specific effects on child sleep, though replication with larger samples is needed to corroborate the findings.

“…Cultural influences on children's sleep and sleep practices are well-established (Jenni & O'Connor, 2005), so it is likely the practices and perceptions of sleep outcomes (i.e., if a child's sleep is deemed problematic or not) would vary across geographical locations and cultures. The impact of socioeconomic status may also be relevant to understanding practical challenges associated with various child sleep patterns/practices (Cameron et al, 2022). Future work exploring the links between parenting practices and child sleep would ideally include consideration of the influence of cultural norms and socioeconomic status.…”

SummaryThe current systematic review sought to identify the relationship between the range of different parental sleep‐related practices that had been explored in relations to child sleep outcomes in children aged 1–3 years. A systematic literature review was carried out in CINAHL, The Cochrane Library, PsycArticles, PsycInfo, PubMed and Web of Science, as well as relevant grey literature in August 2022 using the terms; population (children, aged 1–3 years), exposure (parental sleep‐related practice) and outcome (child sleep). Any quantitative study published between 2010 and 2022 that explored the relationship between parental sleep‐related practices and the sleep of children aged 1–3 years were included. The Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool was employed to quality appraise included studies and results were narratively synthesised. In all, 16 longitudinal and cross‐sectional quantitative studies met inclusion criteria. Parental presence or physical involvement, as well as broader parental practices including using screens or devices at bedtime and night‐time breastfeeding were all related to poorer child sleep outcomes. Consistent and relaxing routines, sleeping in a cot, and spending all night in their own sleep location were associated with better child sleep outcomes. Acknowledging the plethora of diverse parental sleep‐related practices, which may have varying relationships with child sleep outcomes, could be usefully considered in theoretical models and to inform clinical practice. Issues of definitional and measurement ambiguity are highlighted and discussed.

“…Adolescent sleep problems are associated with a wide range of psychiatric disorders [ 6–10 ] as well as other individual youth attributes [ 11 , 12 ]. Characteristics of youth’s family [ 13–16 ], school [ 17 , 18 ], and neighborhood [ 19 , 20 ] environments have also been linked to sleep disturbances. Despite considerable evidence of individual associations of such constructs with sleep problems in adolescents, little is known about the complex, combined associations across these domains and their links to multifaceted sleep disturbances.…”

“…Previous work suggests bidirectional links between adolescent sleep disturbances and both internalizing [ 25 ] and externalizing symptoms [ 26 , 27 ]. Additionally, socioeconomic factors such as higher neighborhood disadvantage [ 19 , 20 ] and lower parental education [ 13 ] have been linked to poorer sleep quality and shorter sleep duration, while family conflict [ 14 , 15 ] and hostile school environments [ 18 ] have been found to contribute to disrupted sleeping habits. Moreover, many individual and health-related characteristics such as body mass index (BMI) and screen and media use have been shown to impact sleep hygiene and bedtime routines [ 12 , 28 ].…”

Study Objectives Sleep disturbances are common in adolescence and associated with a host of negative outcomes. Here we assess associations between multifaceted sleep disturbances and a broad set of psychological, cognitive, and demographic variables using a data-driven approach, canonical correlation analysis (CCA). Methods Baseline data from 9,093 participants from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development℠ (ABCD) Study were examined using CCA, a multivariate statistical approach that identifies many-to-many associations between two sets of variables by finding combinations for each set of variables that maximize their correlation. We combined CCA with leave-one-site-out cross-validation across ABCD sites to examine the robustness of results and generalizability to new participants. The statistical significance of canonical correlations was determined by non-parametric permutation tests that accounted for twin, family, and site structure. To assess the stability of the associations identified at baseline, CCA was repeated using two-year follow-up data from 4,247 ABCD Study participants. Results Two significant sets of associations were identified: 1) difficulty initiating and maintaining sleep and excessive daytime somnolence were strongly linked to nearly all domains of psychopathology (r-squared = 0.36, p < .0001); 2) sleep breathing disorders were linked to BMI and African American/Black race (r-squared = 0.08, p < .0001). These associations generalized to unseen participants at all 22 ABCD sites and were replicated using two-year follow-up data. Conclusions These findings underscore interwoven links between sleep disturbances in early adolescence and psychological, social, and demographic factors.
