“…However, music therapy did improve the heart rate, breathing, and sleep of newborns ( Arnon et al, 2006 ; Loewy et al, 2013 ), which might exert a positive impact on the well-being and quality of life for neonates, especially for preterm infants in the NICU ( Yue et al, 2021 ). Other environmental factors, such as ambient temperature ( Tourneux et al, 2008 ), comforting touch ( Smith et al, 2014 ), remodeling mattress ( Deiriggi, 1990 ; Visscher et al, 2015 ), and nursing measures ( Collins et al, 2015 ; Lan et al, 2018 ) were also found to affect the neonatal rhythms of several physiological parameters, but their roles on the development of circadian rhythms in neonates have not been extensively studied yet ( Liao et al, 2018 ; Gogou et al, 2019 ).…”

“…It is well established that the sleep is essential for normal brain development and health throughout the whole life ( Peirano et al, 2003 ; Gogou et al, 2019 ). Premature newborns spend more than 70% of their first several weeks sleeping after birth ( Ardura et al, 1995 ; Wong et al, 2022 ), thereby maintaining the proper sleep homeostasis is even more important for their neurological development and functional maturation ( Bennet et al, 2018 ; Uchitel et al, 2021 ).…”

The direct behavioral observations, parental sleep questionnaires, video recordings, polysomnography, actigraphy, and electroencephalography (EEG) ( Table 1 ) have been developed to investigate the sleep-wake states of neonates ( Mirmiran et al, 2003a ; Collins et al, 2015 ; Gogou et al, 2019 ).…”

“…Based on the behavioral, cardiopulmonary, and EEG patterns ( Darnall et al, 2006 ; Dereymaeker et al, 2017 ), the sleep states of preterm infants are generally classified as: active sleep (AS), the precursor of adult rapid eye movement (REM) sleep; quiet sleep (QS), the precursor of adult non-REM sleep; and indeterminate sleep (IS), the transition between AS and QS patterns ( Mirmiran et al, 2003a ; Liao et al, 2018 ). More specifically, the AS could promote the synapse formation, neuronal differentiation and migration, and the development of brain functional connectivity networks ( Kurth et al, 2017 ; Gogou et al, 2019 ), whilst the QS promote the myelination, replenishment of energy reserves, and cognitive development in premature infants ( Liao et al, 2018 ; Gogou et al, 2019 ).…”

Caffeine is the globally consumed psychoactive substance and the drug of choice for the treatment of apnea of prematurity (AOP), but its therapeutic effects are highly variable among preterm infants. Many of the molecular underpinnings of the marked individual response have remained elusive yet. Interestingly, the significant association between Clock gene polymorphisms and the response to caffeine therapy offers an opportunity to advance our understanding of potential mechanistic pathways. In this review, we delineate the functions and mechanisms of human circadian rhythms. An up-to-date advance of the formation and ontogeny of human circadian rhythms during the perinatal period are concisely discussed. Specially, we summarize and discuss the characteristics of circadian rhythms in preterm infants. Second, we discuss the role of caffeine consumption on the circadian rhythms in animal models and human, especially in neonates and preterm infants. Finally, we postulate how circadian-based therapeutic initiatives could open new possibilities to promote precision caffeine therapy for the AOP management in preterm infants.

“…Drugs including theophylline, caffeine, and methylxanthine, used to support respiratory functions have the potential of altering sleep quality and induce drowsiness. In the same way, improper light and noise can disrupt newborns' sleep duration, especially in preterm and very preterm ones (Gogou et al, 2019 ). But maybe, more than anything, medical procedures tend to impair babies' sleep the most, in particular since in preterm newborns many interventions are perceived as noxious and painful, thus heightening the stress response (Holsti et al, 2006 ; Weber and Harrison, 2019 ).…”

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is one of the main biological systems that regulates the body's physiology. Autonomic nervous system regulatory capacity begins before birth as the sympathetic and parasympathetic activity contributes significantly to the fetus' development. In particular, several studies have shown how vagus nerve is involved in many vital processes during fetal, perinatal, and postnatal life: from the regulation of inflammation through the anti-inflammatory cholinergic pathway, which may affect the functioning of each organ, to the production of hormones involved in bioenergetic metabolism. In addition, the vagus nerve has been recognized as the primary afferent pathway capable of transmitting information to the brain from every organ of the body. Therefore, this hypothesis paper aims to review the development of ANS during fetal and perinatal life, focusing particularly on the vagus nerve, to identify possible “critical windows” that could impact its maturation. These “critical windows” could help clinicians know when to monitor fetuses to effectively assess the developmental status of both ANS and specifically the vagus nerve. In addition, this paper will focus on which factors—i.e., fetal characteristics and behaviors, maternal lifestyle and pathologies, placental health and dysfunction, labor, incubator conditions, and drug exposure—may have an impact on the development of the vagus during the above-mentioned “critical window” and how. This analysis could help clinicians and stakeholders define precise guidelines for improving the management of fetuses and newborns, particularly to reduce the potential adverse environmental impacts on ANS development that may lead to persistent long-term consequences. Since the development of ANS and the vagus influence have been shown to be reflected in cardiac variability, this paper will rely in particular on studies using fetal heart rate variability (fHRV) to monitor the continued growth and health of both animal and human fetuses. In fact, fHRV is a non-invasive marker whose changes have been associated with ANS development, vagal modulation, systemic and neurological inflammatory reactions, and even fetal distress during labor.

Sleep‐related disorders in children can significantly impact children's physical, emotional, and cognitive development and constitute a major source of parental concern. This comprehensive review aims to describe sleep‐related disorders commonly encountered in pediatric practice, their etiology, diagnosis, and management strategies. The review explores various disorders prevalent in different age groups, including insomnia, sleep apnea, parasomnias, and circadian rhythm disorders, highlighting the importance of early identification and intervention for optimal child health and well‐being.
