“…It is widely accepted that maternal anxiety regarding child well‐being, as well as their own sleep patterns, are intimately related to their children. Work done by Urfer‐Maurer et al established that maternal rather than paternal nighttime wakefulness was correlated with their child's objective sleep pattern . Furthermore, maternal anxiety and depression generally tends to be increased, compared to both paternal and the general population, in children with chronic diseases .…”

Objectives/Hypothesis: To evaluate the impact of adenotonsillectomy for pediatric sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) on parental sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, and child quality of life.Study Design: Prospective cohort study. Methods: Pediatric patients aged 2 to 10 years with SDB and suspected obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) requiring adenotonsillectomy were identified at a single tertiary-care pediatric otolaryngology hospital. Parental daytime sleepiness and quality of sleep were evaluated pre-and postoperatively using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), respectively. Child quality of life, in the context of suspected OSA, was evaluated by the Obstructive Sleep Apnea Quality of Life Survey (OSA-18), pre-and postoperatively. Paired-samples t tests were conducted to analyze data.Results: Forty-seven patients with a mean (standard deviation [SD]) age of 4.9 (2.2) years, participated. Mean (SD) parental age was 35.5 (4.6) years. Statistically significant decreases of 2.1 points were observed between preoperative and postoperative parental mean global ESS (P = .007; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.6-3.6) and mean total PSQI (P = .001; 95% CI: 0.9-3.1) scores. A statistically significant improvement (41.6 points) was observed between preoperative and postoperative on mean OSA-18 scores (P < .0001; 95% CI: 35.7-47.6).Conclusions: Adenotonsillectomy performed in the pediatric population for SDB, with suspected OSA, can positively impact parental daytime sleepiness and sleep quality in addition to pediatric quality of life.

“…The study involved a reanalysis of data from the second wave of the Basel Study of Preterm Children (BSPC; see Maurer et al, 2016 [15], Urfer-Maurer et al, 2017 [16], Urfer-Maurer et al, 2018 [17] for reports on the second study wave of that study). In total 143 children had sleep-EEG assessments and mother-and/or father-reports of sleep related problems (thereof 57 were born very preterm, i.e., <32 weeks of gestation, and 86 were born full-term; see Table 1 for descriptive statistics).…”

Throughout their childhood, pediatric insomnia impacts approximately 25% of all children in the general population. Although it can occur as an isolated condition, it commonly associates with other comorbidities, such as autism, developmental delay, and psychiatric disorders. Careful and detailed history is essential, and sleep logs and actigraphy are useful tools in the assessment and diagnosis of pediatric insomnia. However, polysomnography is usually not warranted in the assessment of pediatric insomnia unless underlying medically-based sleep symptoms are concurrently identified and justify such test. In the majority of cases, behavioral interventions are the recommended approach for treatment. Despite the fact that many pharmacological approaches are used for child insomnia off-label, there are currently no FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved medications for the management of pediatric insomnia. The high prevalence of pediatric insomnia, coupled with the low number of providers, who are formally trained in behavioral treatment for this prevalent condition, highlights the urgent need for improving primary care practitioner awareness, while expanding alternative routes to access to care, such as interactive virtual technology-based treatments, parent education and manuals, along with ongoing efforts to increase professional training opportunities.

The association of mothers' and fathers' insomnia symptoms with school-aged children's sleep assessed by parent report and in-home sleep-electroencephalography

Abstract: Mothers' insomnia symptoms and children's objective sleep patterns are associated. Moreover, the parents' own insomnia symptoms might bias their perception of children's sleep-related behavior problems.
