Each factor likely plays an important role during the transition from childhood to adulthood, a time when significant changes in sleep patterns have been identified. One of the most prominent sleep pattern alterations identified during adolescent development is the tendency for the timing of sleep to delay, a pattern particularly evident on weekends when sleep is less constrained. ...

• Sleep and medical history questionnaires and the Child Behavior Checklist were administered to the parents of 472 children between ages 4 and 12 years receiving routine pediatric care from urban, rural, and suburban pediatric practices. ...
• Although sleep problems were reported for 10. 8% of the sample during the past 6 months, less than one half of the parents who identified sleep problems reported that they had discussed sleep with their child's pediatrician. The best predictor of current sleep problems was a history of sleep problems before age 2 years. Sleep problems such as snoring, tiredness during the day, and taking excessive time to fall asleep were very common, occurring at least 1 night per week in over 20% of the total sample. Factor analysis of the sleep problems questionnaire resulted in 5 sleep problem factors that accounted for 58. ... Specific sleep problem factors include: parasomnias, enuresis/gags, tiredness, noisy sleep, and insomnia. Sleep problem factor scores were differentially associated with medical history variables and measures of childhood psychopathology.
• Children rated highly on parasomnias were more likely to have frequent falls and to display pica. Parasomnias and noisy sleep were inversely associated with socioeconomic status (SES). Children from lower SES families were rated higher on these factors than children from higher SES families. Enuresis/gags was the only sleep problem factor associated with age. Younger children scored higher on this factor. ... As expected, younger children were more likely to nap for longer periods and to have earlier bed times. ... Bed times were not associated with any other sleep problem factor score. Children rated highly on tiredness were more likely to have a history of hospitalizations. Tiredness factor scores were strongly associated with the sleep practice of sharing a bed but not with sharing a room. Sharing a room was not associated with any sleep problem factor score. High scores on noisy sleep were associated with allergies, falls frequently, and with sharing a bed.
