This article describes the combined clinical experience of a multidisciplinary group of professionals on the sleep disturbances of children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) focusing on sleep hygiene interventions. Such practical and comprehensive information is not available in the literature. Severe, persistent sleep difficulties are frequently associated with this condition but few health professionals are familiar with both FASD and sleep disorders. The sleep promotion techniques used for typical children are less suitable for children with FASD who need individually designed interventions. The types, causes, and adverse effects of sleep disorders, the modification of environment, scheduling and preparation for sleep, and sleep health for their caregivers are discussed. It is our hope that parents and also researchers, who are interested in the sleep disorders of children with FASD, will benefit from this presentation and that this discussion will stimulate much needed evidence-based research.
本文介绍了一个多学科专业团队关于胎儿酒精谱系障碍（FASD）儿童睡眠障碍的综合临床经验，重点关注睡眠卫生干预措施。文献中尚无此类实用且全面的信息。严重、持续的睡眠困难常与该病症相关，但很少有医疗专业人员同时熟悉FASD和睡眠障碍。用于典型儿童的睡眠促进技术不太适用于需要个性化干预措施的FASD儿童。文中讨论了睡眠障碍的类型、成因和不良影响、睡眠环境的改善、睡眠安排和准备以及照顾者的睡眠健康。我们希望，对FASD儿童睡眠障碍感兴趣的家长和研究人员能从本报告中受益，并且这一讨论将激发急需的循证研究。
