Sleep hygiene is a set of practices, which promote good sleep. However, other than bedtime routines and schedules, sleep hygiene is not often examined in this age group, or in ASD. The aim of this study was to examine sleep problems in young children with and without ASD and their relationship to sleep hygiene practices. Participants Parents (N?=?101) of young children aged 2–5?years (M?=?47.5 mths, SD?=?1.3) were surveyed. Children included 28 with ASD, 2 with global developmental delay, and 71 who were typically developing. Methods A survey of sleep and sleep hygiene practices and the Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) examined via parent-report sleep problems and their relationship with thermal comfort, screen time, and diet. Results More than half of all children (55.4%; 78.6% of children with ASD) had a sleep problem. Children with ASD and a sleep problem slept fewer hours than other children, but they did not differ on their CSHQ score. Areas of sleep hygiene associated with poorer sleep for children with and without ASD included thermal comfort factors and screen usage. Conclusions These results suggest that too much screen time may be related to sleep problems for young children with and without ASD. Parents also may need advice about maintaining appropriate thermal comfort for their sleeping child. Although these findings provide preliminary relationships and require replication and specific intervention recommendations, these results are particularly important for children with ASD who are at high risk for poor sleep.

Sleep quantity and quality as predictors of behavior and mental health issues for children and adolescents with autism / Kimberly A. SCHRECK in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 84 (June 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 84 (June 2021) . - 101767 Titre : Sleep quantity and quality as predictors of behavior and mental health issues for children and adolescents with autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kimberly A. SCHRECK, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101767 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Sleep problems  Anxiety  Depression  Aggression Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Research has supported a relationship between sleep problems and day-time behavior and mental health for young children with autism. Fewer studies have investigated these relationships across young children to adolescents. Method This study analyzed data retrieved from a sleep and behavior data base constructed from information obtained from patient charts and psychological assessments at a developmental pediatric clinic. The study evaluated the relationships among sleep quality and quantity (measured by the Behavioral Evaluation of Disorders of Sleep), age, and mental health and behavior problems (measured by the Child Behavior Checklist) for children and adolescents with autism (N = 446) from 16 months to 18 years old. Results Results indicated that despite age, children and adolescents with autism who experienced sleep quantity and quality problems were more likely to experience internalizing (e.g., anxiety/depression), and externalizing (aggression, destructiveness, delinquency) behavior problems. Internalizing and externalizing behavior problems were associated with sleep behavior, such as sensitivity to environmental stimuli, waking during the night, disoriented waking, and fewer hours of sleep (last 24 h for externalizing and total). Conclusions The results of this study replicate and extend previous research on daytime behavior, mental health, and sleep quality and quantity relationships. Indications of sensitivity to the environment to these daytime issues indicates the need for subsequent research delineating the influence of variables within the biopsychosocial model (e.g., sensory hyperarousal) of the inter-relatedness of sleep, daytime behaviors, and mental health for individuals with autism across the lifespan.
