“…Sleep is a very vulnerable state that can be affected by a variety of medical, physiological, environmental and psychological factors. Every condition leading to physical discomfort or pain (including reflux, milk allergy, atopic dermatitis, headaches and even simple colds) is likely to adversely affect sleep (Brockmann, Bertrand, & Castro-Rodriguez, 2014;Camfferman, Kennedy, Gold, Simpson, & Lushington, 2013;Chang et al, 2014;Guidetti, Dosi, & Bruni, 2014;Machado et al, 2013). For the main classification of sleep disorders see Table 2.…”

Hippocrates flagged the value of sleep for good health. Nonetheless, historically, researchers with an interest in developmental psychopathology have largely ignored a possible role for atypical sleep. Recently, however, there has been a surge of interest in this area, perhaps reflecting increased evidence that disturbed or insufficient sleep can result in poor functioning in numerous domains. This review outlines what is known about sleep in the psychiatric diagnoses most relevant to children and for which associations with sleep are beginning to be understood. There is a description of both concurrent and longitudinal links as well as possible mechanisms underlying associations. Preliminary treatment research is also considered which suggests that treating sleep difficulties may result in improvements in behavioural areas beyond sleep quality. To maximize progress in this field, there now needs to be: 1) greater attention to the assessment of sleep in children; 2) sleep research on a wider range of psychiatric disorders; 3) a greater focus on and examination of mechanisms underlying associations; 4) a clearer consideration of developmental questions; and 5) largescale well-designed treatment studies. While sleep problems may sometimes be missed by parents and health-care providers and hence constitute a hidden risk for other psychopathologies -knowing about these difficulties creates unique opportunities. The current excitement in this field from experts in diverse areas including developmental psychology, clinical psychology, genetics and neuropsychology should make these opportunities a reality.

“…AD begins mostly in early childhood; consequently, AD imposes significant physical and psychosocial burdens on children during a critical period of development (Bronkhorst, Schellack, & Motswaledi, ). Sleep disturbances affect most children living with AD (Camfferman, Kennedy, Gold, Simpson, & Lushington, ). Children whose skins are disfigured by AD often experience discrimination or stigmatisation (Chernyshov, ).…”

Atopic dermatitis (AD) imposes significant physical and psychosocial burdens on affected children. However, little has been done to learn from the subjective experiences, perspectives and emotions of children living with AD. Their voices are not heard in healthcare settings. This study aims to share these children's voices and provide a deep understanding of the subjective experiences of children living with AD. We conducted qualitative research by conducting semi‐structured interviews and analysing the drawings of 17 children in Hong Kong aged between 8 and 12 years who were diagnosed with AD. Using a phenomenological approach, we transcribed, coded and described the interviews. We found that for the children in this study, living with AD meant contending with an accumulation of challenges and crises. At the individual level, the essential experience of living with AD manifested a vicious cycle of skin and mental issues. At the family level, conflicts between children and parents concerning AD management coexisted with parental support. The children commonly experienced bullying and isolation in school and discrimination and stigmatisation in their neighbourhood, thereby making living with AD a traumatic experience. The synergy between individual and environmental factors contributed to shaping an incapable and wounded “self” living with AD. Based on our findings, we propose a child‐centred biopsychosocial framework for understanding the living experiences of children with AD. This study suggests different practice strategies for healthcare professionals working with the individual challenges experienced by children living with AD and the challenges these children experience in their family, school, and neighbourhood. The needs of these children should be addressed through an integrated, holistic approach for improving their long‐term health outcomes.

“…34,35 Assessment of the patient's sleep is critical, given the negative effect of sleep loss on children's cognitive functioning, mood regulation, attention, and behavior. [36][37][38][39] Sleep hygiene should be optimized for all patients, 40,41 and wet wrap therapy might be useful as a physical barrier to nighttime scratching. 42 Although antihistamines have not been found to be effective in reducing itch, their sedating effects might help with sleep onset and reduce nighttime awakenings for some patients.…”
