• Jackson admits that several young children, especially pre-adolescent boys (including Macaulay Culkin when he was younger and his younger brother Kieran) have slept in the same bed as him, but he denies having had sex with any of them. He has admitted that he still sometimes sleeps with a child in the same room including his 12 year old friend Gavin, but it was implied that they do not sleep in the same bed (they have told about an occasion where each was happy to sleep on the floor and let the other have the bed). Conversely, Jackson lets his children stay with his friends, for example with Barry Gibb. He emphasizes that children need and deserve lots of love — not sexual, but like having hot milk and cookies, tucking them in, telling a bed-time story, etc. ...

• Cronus sired several children by Rhea: Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, Poseidon, but swallowed them all as soon as they were born, since he had learned from Gaia and Uranus that he was destined to be overcome by his own son as he had overthrown his own father. But when Zeus was about to be born, Rhea sought Uranus and Earth to devise a plan to save him, so that Cronus would get his retribution for his acts against Uranus and his own children. ...

• Then along came our fourth child, Hayden, born in 1978, whose birth changed our lives and our attitudes about sleep. ...
• Martha said, "I don't care what the books say, I'm tired and I need some sleep!" We initially had to get over all those worries and warnings about manipulation and terminal nighttime dependency. ...
• Sleeping with Hayden opened our hearts and minds to the fact that there are many nighttime parenting styles, and parents need to be sensible and use whatever arrangement gets all family members the best night's sleep. ...
• In social settings, when the subject of sleep came up, we admitted that we slept with our babies. ... Why should parents have to be so hush-hush about this nighttime parenting practice and made to feel they are doing something strange? Most parents throughout the world sleep with their infants. ...
• I prefer the term "sleep-sharing" because, as you will learn, a baby shares more than just bed space. ...
• A mindset more than a place to sleep. Sharing sleep involves more than a decision about where your baby sleeps. ... Every family goes through nocturnal juggling acts at different stages of children's development. Sharing sleep reflects an attitude of acceptance of your baby as a little person with big needs. ... Sharing sleep in our culture also requires that you trust your intuition about parenting your individual baby instead of unquestionably accepting the norms of American society. ...

• Sleep Disorders .
• How Much Sleep Do Children Need?.
• The amount of sleep a person needs depends largely on age, but also varies from individual to individual. In general, the younger the person, the more sleep is needed. Babies and young children need an average of 12 hours per day, including midday naps. Typically, children stop taking naps at about age 6, but then begin sleeping longer at night. Sleep requirements gradually taper off as children grow older. However, children under the age of 12 should get a minimum of 10 hours per night. By high school, teens typically require about 9 hours of sleep, and by adulthood, 8 hours per night is the average.
• There is an ongoing debate among researchers about whether or not people can 'make up' lost sleep. However, there is consensus that too little sleep over a prolonged period of time will result in significant mental, behavioral, and physical problems.
• Effects of Sleep Deficit in Children.
• Sleep deficit, or not getting enough sleep, is the most common sleep problem among both children and adults. Stressful and hurried lifestyles, peer pressures, school concerns, and family relationship issues can lead to a lack of sufficient sleep in children. Parents often believe that children are immune to stress and pressure. However, in reality people of all ages are extremely vulnerable to stress, and difficulty with sleep is often the result. ...

• Johnnie gives a humorous rather than a really evasive answer: He says that once, when he could not go to sleep, he started counting them, just like sheep jumping over a hedge, and he fell asleep at number 73. ... Much is left open for the cinema-goer to decide: Did he actually sleep with any, some, or all of them? Or did he only kiss them? The crime of adultery, on the other hand, is altogether left out in the plot of the film: Lina's best friend does not appear at all, and Ella, their maid, certainly does not have an illegitimate son by Johnnie: Sex is not an issue. ...

• At very slow levels, theta brainwave activity is a very relaxed state, representing the twilight zone between waking and sleep. ...
• Neurofeedback training for ADD/ADHD is commonly found to be associated with decreased impulsiveness/hyperactivity, increased mood stability, improved sleep patterns, increased attention span and concentration, improved academic performance, increased retention and memory, and increased IQ scores (often averaging 10 IQ points in published studies). ...
• EEG investigations of alcoholics (and the children of alcoholics) have documented that even after prolonged periods of abstinence, they have lower levels of alpha and theta waves and an excess of fast beta brainwaves in their EEG's. This means that alcoholics and the children of alcoholics tend to be hard-wired differently from other people, and in a way that makes it difficult for them to relax. ... Thus, individuals with a biological predisposition to develop alcoholism (and their children) are particularly vulnerable to the effects of alcohol. ...

• Response to inspiratory resistive loading during sleep in normal children and children with obstructive apnea .
• The response to inspiratory resistance loading (IRL) of the upper airway during sleep in children is not known. We, therefore, evaluated the arousal responses to IRL during sleep in children with the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) compared with controls. Children with OSAS aroused at a higher load than did controls (23 ± 8 vs. ... non-REM sleep (P < 0. ... We conclude that children with OSAS have impaired arousal responses to IRL. Despite compensatory changes in respiratory timing, normal children have a decrease in minute ventilation in response to IRL during sleep. ...
• arousal; ventilatory drive; sleep-disordered breathing .
• THE OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA syndrome (OSAS) is a common and serious cause of morbidity during childhood. ... Nevertheless, children and adults with OSAS share some pathophysiological characteristics. ... In children, the structural narrowing is usually due to adenotonsillar hypertrophy; in adults, it is attributed to adipose tissue. ... However, during sleep this compensatory mechanism is lost, and obstructive apnea ensues. Because sleep is associated with an increase in upper airway resistance of more than 200% (14), load compensation during sleep assumes particular importance. However, the response to inspiratory resistance loading (IRL) of the upper airway during sleep has not been studied in either normal children or children with OSAS. ...
• Children with OSAS frequently exhibit a pattern of persistent, partial upper airway obstruction associated with gas-exchange abnormalities rather than episodes of recurrent, discrete obstructions (1, 25). ... The reason for this differing pattern of obstruction between children and adults is unclear. It is possible that children with OSAS, unlike adult patients, have preserved upper airway reflexes (17). ...

• We remind ourselves that much of what comes to the pediatrician's attention, as problematic sleep behavior--children who have difficulty falling asleep alone at bedtime, who wake at night and ask for parental attention, or who continue to nurse at night--is problematic only in relation to our society's expectations, rather than to some more general standard of what constitutes difficult behavior in the young child. ... Thus, in giving advice about sleep, pediatric health professionals might do well to be aware of their own cultural values, to examine closely their patients cultural and family contexts, and to assess parental reactions to children's sleep behaviors" (1).
• In this chapter, I provide a cultural background to our thinking about what constitutes "normal, healthy and desirable" infant sleep and show the interconnectedness between scientific research, cultural values, concerns for morality, and sleeping arrangements characteristic of Western society. Specific biological and psychological evidence is put forth supporting Sadeh and Anders (4,5) and Ander's (6) views on the importance of understanding what is "appropriate" infant sleep based on the overall social and physical context within which it occurs. ...
• The diversity of sleep-related arrangements and practices alter infant sleep development significantly in the first years of life and this argues against a simple cultural definition of infant sleep progression implied by the widely accepted (traditional) model. ...
• For example, data collected exclusively on the solitary sleeping, bottle-fed infant continue to provide the basis for definitions of, and research into, clinically "normal" infant sleep-wake patterns. These data continue to serve as the gold standard against which, eventually, parents and professionals evaluate infant sleep development, despite significant contextual differences which may invalidate the comparisons. ...
• New data from psychology are presented which raise the possibility that clinicians have overestimated the need for infants to sleep separately in order to assure "independence"from their parents, and recent biological data described here suggest that sleep researchers underestimate the importance of maternal proximity and breast feeding in regulating infant sleep physiology, and, thus, fulfilling infantile nighttime needs. By using data from only one type of sleeping arrangement and implying that there is only one context within which healthy infant sleep emerges, i. ... the solitary one, pediatric sleep research is thus held captive by Western ethnocentrism. ...
• I conclude that to forge effective partnerships between parents and health professionals in our ever increasingly mutlicultural society, pediatric sleep medicine must come to terms with cultural biases embedded in sleep research medicine in general and clinical interpretations and advice in particular. At this point in the history of western societies, where an unprecedented convergence of cultural practices is underway--- not the least of which involves sleeping arrangements--- it is critical that clinicians and researchers broaden their thinking about what constitutes appropriate and desirable childhood sleep practices. Failure do so will continue to limit both the accuracy of pediatric sleep science and the effectiveness of care. ...

• The consequences of untreated sleep problems may include significant emotional, behavioral, and cognitive dysfunction.
