“…Approximately half of all mothers of children with IDD experience interrupted sleep due to caregiving needs of their children [10], with many waking more than twice in a night with less than a total of 7 hours of sleep [11]. Consistent with these studies, Gallagher et al [12] found that 72% of caregivers to children with IDD, considered themselves to be sleep deprived [12].…”

BackgroundChildren with intellectual and developmental difficulties often experience 2 sleep problems, which in turn may impact parental sleep patterns. This study explored the role of parental sleep knowledge as a moderator on the relationship between child sleep and parental sleep impairment.Methods582 parents or caregivers (92.6% mothers) of children with different developmental disabilities (Age M = 9.34, 29.5 % females) such as Down’s syndrome, participated in an online survey. Multiple regression analysis was conducted.ResultsParental sleep knowledge of child sleep was a moderating variable in the relationship between child sleep nocturnal duration and parental sleep impairment. Although overall, sleep knowledge was high in this sample, two specific knowledge gaps were identified namely child sleep duration requirements, and the recognition of signs of a well-rested child.ConclusionThis study has provided evidence that increased parental sleep knowledge can positively impact both child and parental sleep outcomes.

“…The common element of these studies is that they all tried to explain how the entry into old age changes an individual's life, through the analysis of the life time of older people. Some studies analyzed the life time of a particular group by position and role (Too 1995;Lee and Kwon 2005;Drago 2009;Gimenez-Nadal and Ortega-Lapiedra 2010;Park 2011).…”

“…Lee and Kwon (2005) reported through analysis of the time use of mothers that mothers with disabled children spend most of their time doing household work in order to provide care for their disabled children. In addition, Drago (2009) showed the differences in parenting time required according to the age of the children, and the gender, education, and economic status of the parents.…”

“…Previous studies have analyzed time use focused on given tasks to specific ages. For example, there were time use studies for leisure by older people (Kim and Jeong 2006;Folbre et al 2009;Ji 2012), time use studies for household management by mothers (Lee and Kwon 2005), changes of time use by men and women (Aguiar and Hurst 2009;Robinson and Martin 2009;Schneider 2012), and so on. However, empirical studies analyzing the changes of time use for task performance in life stages are very limited.…”

The purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of time use and the patterns of time use across the life span using a socioemotional selectivity theory. The data used for this study were from the ''Korean Time Use Survey,'' which is collected every 5 years by Statistics Korea (KOSTAT). The data collected in 1999, 2004, and 2009 were used to analyze the patterns of time use using latent class analyses and to observe the differences of time use by age and gender. The results were summarized as follows: Based on the analyses of nine behavior classifications, after sleep and personal care, Korean allocated more time in daily activities to relationship and leisure time, followed by education, paid work, and household management, with the order differing between each age group and gender. Three different classes of time use were classified at each age group. Education-centered time use was revealed to be mainly in the young, paid work-centered in the middle-aged, and relationship and leisure-centered in older adults. We find significant gender differences. Men's patterns of time did not change markedly across the 3 years, while women's patterns have shifted. Meanwhile, in the age 65 and older group, paid work appeared alongside as well as leisure among most prominent activities, were appeared as dominant forms of time use. This phenomenon is closely related to reflecting high rates of elderly poverty in Korea. Further discussions concerning the time use by age and gender were provided and countermeasures for changing time use in later life were discussed.

“…Mothers, who are typically the primary caregiver for the young, are particularly at risk for concomitant sleep disruptions when caring for their children with epilepsy during the night. However, prior research on the relationship between maternal and child sleep has focused mostly on sleep in mothers of typically developing children (Meltzer & Mindell, 2007;Mindell, Sadeh, Kwon, & Goh, 2015), with only a few studies exploring sleep in mothers of children with chronic medical conditions (Chu & Richdale, 2009;Goldberger-Raskin, Gothelf, Bachner-Melman, Lang, & Kushnir, 2018;Lee, Spratling, & Helvig, 2018;Wayte, McCaughey, Holley, Annaz, & Hill, 2012). The current study was conducted to investigate the relationship between maternal and child sleep in the context of pediatric epilepsy.…”

We conducted a cross‐sectional study to examine sleep in mothers of children with epilepsy and its relation to their children's sleep. A total of 133 dyads of mothers and children with epilepsy aged 1.5–6 years were recruited between 2015 and 2018 from a children's hospital in northern Taiwan. Participating families provided demographic and health information, with children wearing an actigraphy monitor for 7 days and mothers completing sleep and depressive mood questionnaires. We found that 76 (57.1%) of the mothers had poor sleep quality, with 65 (48.9%) mothers having a clinically significant depressive symptom score. Mean actigraphic wake after sleep onset in children was 1.42 (standard deviation = 0.51) hours, with 126 (94.7%) of the children having a clinically significant sleep disturbance score. Multivariate regression analyses showed that higher depressive symptom scores in mothers (β = 0.14; p < .01) and higher sleep disturbance scores in children (β = 0.07; p = .04) were associated with poorer maternal sleep quality, even when maternal demographic characteristics and the child's clinical and epilepsy variables were considered. Findings from our study suggest that sleep disturbances are a shared problem for mothers and their children with epilepsy. Sleep in both mothers and their children with epilepsy should be evaluated in pediatric neurologic practices, with maternal depressive symptoms screened concurrently. Future pediatric epilepsy studies are warranted to examine whether a family‐based intervention program would be effective to improve sleep in mother‐child dyads and to promote better health and functioning of the entire family.
