Data on sleep behavior were gathered on 100 children with pervasive developmental disorders (PDD), ages 2-11 years, using sleep diaries, the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ), and the Parenting Events Questionnaire. Two time periods were sampled to assess short-term stability of sleep-wake patterns. Before data collection, slightly more than half of the parents, when queried, reported a sleep problem in their child. Subsequent diary and CSHQ reports confirmed more fragmented sleep in those children who were described by their parents as having a sleep problem compared to those without a designated problem. Interestingly, regardless of parental perception of problematic sleep, all children with PDD exhibited longer sleep onset times and greater fragmentation of sleep than that reported for age-matched community norms. The results demonstrate that sleep problems identified by the parent, as well as fragmentation of sleep patterns obtained from sleep diary and CSHQ data, exist in a significant proportion of children with PDD.
利用睡眠日记、儿童睡眠习惯问卷（CSHQ）和育儿事件问卷，收集了100名年龄在2至11岁的广泛性发育障碍（PDD）儿童的睡眠行为数据。抽取了两个时间段来评估睡眠-觉醒模式的短期稳定性。在数据收集之前，略多于一半的家长在被询问时报告他们的孩子存在睡眠问题。随后的日记和CSHQ报告证实，与那些没有被指定有问题的孩子相比，那些被家长描述为有睡眠问题的孩子的睡眠更加碎片化。有趣的是，无论家长对有问题睡眠的认知如何，所有PDD儿童的入睡时间都比年龄匹配的社区标准报告的更长，睡眠碎片化程度也更高。结果表明，家长所识别出的睡眠问题，以及从睡眠日记和CSHQ数据中获得的睡眠模式碎片化情况，在很大比例的PDD儿童中都存在。
