The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of various forms of TV exposure on the quality of children's sleep. In this randomized population-based survey questionnaires concerning TV viewing, sleep disturbances, and psychiatric symptoms were administered to 321 parents of children aged 5-6 years. Sleep disturbance scores were the main outcome measures. Active TV viewing and passive TV exposure were related to sleeping difficulties, especially sleep-wake transition disorders and overall sleep disturbances. Particularly, passive TV exposure and viewing adult-targeted TV programs were strongly related to sleep disturbances. The association remained significant when socioeconomic status, family income, family conflicts, the father's work schedule, and the child's psychiatric symptoms were controlled statistically. The adjusted odds ratios were 2.91 (95% CI 1.03-8.17) and 3.01 (95% CI 1.13-8.05), respectively. TV viewing and particularly passive TV exposure and viewing adult-targeted programs significantly increase the risk of sleeping difficulties. The results suggest that health-care professionals should be aware of the association between TV exposure and sleep disturbances.
本研究的目的是调查不同形式的电视观看对儿童睡眠质量的影响。在这项基于人群的随机调查中，对321名5至6岁儿童的家长进行了关于电视观看、睡眠障碍和精神症状的问卷调查。睡眠障碍得分是主要的观察指标。主动看电视和被动接触电视与睡眠困难有关，尤其是睡眠-觉醒转换障碍和总体睡眠障碍。特别是，被动接触电视和观看面向成人的电视节目与睡眠障碍密切相关。在对社会经济地位、家庭收入、家庭冲突、父亲的工作时间表和孩子的精神症状进行统计学控制后，这种关联仍然显著。调整后的优势比分别为2.91（95%可信区间1.03 - 8.17）和3.01（95%可信区间1.13 - 8.05）。看电视，尤其是被动接触电视和观看面向成人的节目，会显著增加睡眠困难的风险。结果表明，医疗保健专业人员应意识到接触电视与睡眠障碍之间的关联。
