MCCRAE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102518 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Insomnia  Child  Parent  Depression  Noncompliance Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Parents diagnosed with depression often report that their children have difficulty following rules and falling asleep. Parents with depression are less likely to be consistent or enforce bedtimes, resulting in the child having fewer bedtime rules and getting less sleep. Over time this may mean the child develops poor sleep habits and difficulty falling asleep. Although these relationships have yet to be studied in children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), it is an important area given that approximately 80?% of autistic children have sleep difficulties. Methods The current study examined whether parent-reported child sleep onset latency (SOL) mediated the relationship between parental depression and child noncompliance. The sample (N=34) consisted of parents (82?% female) reporting on their children aged 6-12 (M=8.63, SD = 2.00; 76.5?% male). All children were diagnosed with ASD and had parent-reported sleep complaints. Measures included the Child Sleep Health Questionnaire (CSHQ), the Pediatric Symptom Checklist (PSC), and a question asking if the parent had been diagnosed with depression (yes/no). Results Greater parent-reported child SOL significantly mediated the relation between increased parental depression and greater noncompliance. Conclusions These results suggest that difficulty falling asleep may help to explain why children of parents who have depression are noncompliant.

Exploratory analyses of sleep intraindividual variability and fatigue in parents of children on the autism spectrum / Braden HAYSE in Autism, 29-4 (April 2025)

Despite the established relationship between sleep and fatigue, research examining sleep variability within a person (i.e. intraindividual variability; IIV) and fatigue is limited. In addition, the associations between child and parent sleep regarding parent fatigue have not been explicitly explored, which could be relevant for parents of autistic children with increased sleep disturbance likelihood. The current study used two weeks of objective sleep (actigraphy) and subjective fatigue data from 81 parents and their children to explore associations among child sleep IIV, parent sleep IIV, and parent average daily fatigue, including evaluating evidence for mediation. Sleep IIV was estimated using a validated Bayesian model. Linear regression analyses indicated that greater parent total sleep time IIV predicted significantly higher fatigue levels. Child sleep IIV was unrelated to parent sleep IIV and fatigue, unsupportive of hypothesized mediation. Similarly, post hoc analyses examining child sleep averages, parent total sleep time IIV, and average parent fatigue were insignificant. Findings cautiously support the uniqueness of total sleep time IIV within parental sleep?s relationship with fatigue, independent of child sleep. Objective sleep IIV should continue to be examined in addition to average levels.Lay abstract Fatigue is associated with numerous harmful physical and mental health outcomes. Despite research indicating a relationship between fatigue and sleep, there has been a limited focus on how the variability of a person?s sleep may be associated with fatigue. In addition, previous studies have not explicitly explored relationships among child sleep, parent sleep, and parent fatigue. Increasing knowledge about this area of research could be particularly relevant for families with autistic children with an increased likelihood of sleep disturbances. The current study used two weeks of objective sleep (actigraphy) data and subjective ratings of parent fatigue from 81 parents and their autistic children to examine associations among child and parent within-person sleep variability regarding average parent fatigue levels. Evidence was assessed for the role of parent sleep variability in hypothesized connections between child sleep variability and parent fatigue. We found that only greater variability in parents' total sleep time was associated with higher levels of parents' average daily fatigue rating over the two weeks. Child sleep variability was not significantly associated with parent sleep variability or average daily fatigue. In addition, average levels of child sleep were unrelated to parent total sleep time variability and fatigue. Although cautious interpretation is required, findings support the idea that variability in total sleep time may be a unique aspect of parental sleep?s association with fatigue, independent of child sleep. In addition, sleep variability could be important to consider when examining sleep in addition to average levels of parameters like total sleep time.

Cognitive behavioral treatment for childhood insomnia (CBT-CI) may improve sleep and functioning in children with autism and their parents, but typical delivery involving multiple office visits can make it difficult for some children to get this treatment. This pilot study tested telehealth delivery of CBT-CI using computers, which allowed children and their parents to get the treatment at home. This pilot shows therapists that parents and children were able to use telehealth CBT-CI to improve child and parent sleep, child behavior and arousal, and parent fatigue. Parents found telehealth CBT-CI helpful, age-appropriate, and autism-friendly. Telehealth CBT-CI holds promise for treating insomnia in school-aged children with autism and deserves further testing.
